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. Wait until the WPS button on the Extender is flashing purple.
4. Press the WPS button on the Extender for ten seconds.
5. Press the WPS button on the gateway/modem for 2-3 seconds.
6. 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."
Connecting the Extender
Now that the Extender is synced with the gateway/modem's wireless network, it can be placed in
another area or room of the home/office.
1. Place the Extender in an area where the Wi-Fi signal is weak or spotty.
2. Plug the Extender's power adapter into the Power port of the Extender, and the other end into an
electrical wall outlet.
3. If applicable, connect an Ethernet cable between one of the Extender's LAN ports and the Ethernet
port on the wall or of a non-wireless device. (Wireless devices will connect via the wireless network.
4. Wait until the WPS button on the Extender is glowing solid green.
The Extender is now synced, installed, and extending the gateway/ modem's wireless network in a
previously weak area.
Accessing the Extender's GUI
The Extender features an onboard graphical user interface (GUI) that includes user-configurable
settings. Some of these settings should be accessed by experienced network technicians only.
