Connect to the host network
There are two ways to connect to the host network: via the WPS button or via a web

recommend you to use this way if your router has a WPS button. The button might look
like one of these:

Method One: Via the WPS button

1. Press the WPS button on your host router, and then press the
extender within 2 minutes.
Tips:
• Some ISP gateways disable the WPS function by default. If the WPS connection fails, please refer to
Two: Via a web browser.
• For more information about using WPS button on your host router, please refer to the router manufacturer's
user guide.
2. Wait until the RE LED changes from blinking to solid on, which indicates that the
WPS connection is successful. If not, please refer to
3. Enjoy! Connect to the extended network and enjoy the Internet. The extended
network may use the same SSID as that of the host network or add _EXT to the end
of the host SSID, but the password is shared.
Tips:
Since the performance of the extended network will be affected by the distance between the extender and
host router, we highly recommend you to relocate your extender referring to

Method Two: Via a web browser
