    5 Troubleshooting Frequently Asked Questions Q1. How do I know if my computer or tablet is directly connected to the Wi-Fi Extender?  If your Extender hasn’t been connected to router yet, or has recently been reset: You can check your computer or tablet’s Wi-Fi settings to see if it’s connected to the Extender’s default Wi-Fi network.
  • Page 31 Q5. Why can’t I connect my Wi-Fi Extender to my router using WPS? Your VRE3000 Wi-Fi Extender is designed to work with routers that have the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band (Band-1: 5150MHz ~ 5250MHz). Before you begin, make sure that your Wi-Fi router has this band. One way to check is to see if its network name (SSID) ends with “-5g”.
  • Page 32 5 Troubleshooting Also, some routers do not support WPS. But don’t worry. If your router does have the 5 GHz band, but doesn’t have WPS, it’s still easy to connect. If you’re connecting a router for the first time (or have recently reset your Extender) connect to the Admin website and follow the instructions in the Setup Wizard to connect manually.
  • Page 33 You can check your Wi-Fi device’s list of available networks. If you see the Extender’s default network name, Verizon Extender Setup - XXXX, it hasn’t connected to a router yet (or has been reset to factory default settings.) Follow the instructions in the Getting Started section of this guide to connect your Extender to your router.
