Connection help
Don't know if you're connecting via router or extender?
The easiest way is to compare the signal strength displayed on your device with the
•
extender switched on and off. The extender simply relays the data from your hub/router.
It's your device that controls which signal it connects to.
Can't connect extender to router
•
If the range lights continue to scroll up and down for more than 1 minute after
connection attempt. Check your hub/router is switched on and try moving your
extender closer to it.
If your device often loses internet access and the extender's Too far or a bit too far light
•
is on, try moving the extender to another socket.
If you are trying to use WPS but it doesn't work (Too far and Too close (red) lights
•
continue to flash), it may be that it's incompatible with the WPS function in the extender.
Try switching the extender Off then On and repeat Method 1. If it still fails, follow the
steps in Method 2, to connect without using the WPS button.
If you're unable to connect using Method 2, check you have selected the correct
•
wireless network and you've entered the correct wireless key.
Can't connect to internet
Check your router is connected to the internet and your wi-fi is working correctly.
•
Can't connect your device to wireless
Make sure your device is correctly set-up to connect to your hub/router before trying
•
to use the extender.
•
Microwaves and some electrical equipment may interfere with the wireless signal.
Check the lights on your extender and make sure you are in Good range, if not see the
•
section 'Move extender to optimum location'.
Thick/concrete walls and ceilings will affect wireless performance.
•
All lights are off
Check the power socket is working and switched on.
•
Check the extender is turned on (the On/Off button is on the top).
