Installing The Extender; Syncing Wi-Fi - ActionTec WCB5000 User Manual

Installing the Extender

There are two parts to installing an Extender: syncing the Wi-Fi settings,
and placing and connecting the Extender.

Syncing Wi-Fi

To sync the Extender with the gateway/modem's Wi-Fi settings:
1. Place the Extender next to the gateway/modem.
2. Plug the Extender's power adapter into the Power port of the
Extender, and the other end into an electrical wall outlet.
3. Press the WPS button on both the Extender and the gateway/modem
simultaneously for ten seconds.
4. Make sure the WPS button on the Extender is glowing green. If the
WPS button glows red, try syncing the Wi-Fi settings again. The
Extender can also be manually configured to connect with the
gateway/modem's wireless network (see "Wireless Setup" on
page 14).
The Extender is now synced with the gateway/modem's Wi-Fi settings.
Unplug the Extender and its power cable and continue on to the next
section of this chapter, "Connecting the Extender. "
