Getting Started
Does your WiFi router have a WPS button?
Yes No (or not sure)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an easy way to connect WiFi devices. The button might look like one of these:
Yes
1. Attach the antennas.
Remove the antenna caps. Attach the antennas to the connectors and turn them clockwise to tighten. Bend and
rotate the antennas into position. Double-check that the antennas are properly tightened.
2. Turn on your extender.
Place the extender close to your WiFi router. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet. Press the Power button
if necessary.
3. Connect to your WiFi router.
Press the WPS button on the extender. The Link Rate LEDs and Device to Extender LED blink green.
Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your WiFi router. After a few seconds, the 2.4 GHZ Link Rate
LED lights green, indicating a good connection between your WiFi router and your extender. If the 2.4 GHz Link
Rate LED does not light, or the LED is blinking amber, try again. If the LED still does not light, follow the
instructions for No WPS button on the right.
4. Add a WiFi band.
If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band (not all routers do), and you want to extend that band, repeat Step
3 and check that the 5 GHz Link Rate LED lights solid green to confirm the connection.
5. Choose a location and check the signal strength.
Now that the extender is connected to your WiFi router, you can move it to a location that will boost your WiFi
range. The location you choose must be within the range of your existing WiFi router network.
The Link Rate LEDs help you choose a spot where the extender-to‑router connection is optimal. See Indicator
LEDs on the back to learn how the LEDs show the best connection.
If you get no connection or a poor connection, move the extender closer to your WiFi router and try again until
the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Link Rate LED lights green.
6. Connect your WiFi devices.
Take your WiFi device to the location with poor WiFi router coverage. Connect your WiFi-enabled computer or
mobile device to the WiFi network.
Note: Your extender uses the same WiFi network settings as your router for its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz extended
networks.
For example, if your extender connects to the router’s 2.4 GHz WiFi band, your extender uses your router’s 2.4
GHz WiFi settings for both its networks:
• Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• Router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• Extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
