Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup

Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ makes it easy to connect your extender to your network,
then connect other devices to your network through the extender.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup light activity
• The Cisco logo on the top panel of the extender functions as the Wi-Fi
Protected Setup light.
• When the Wi-Fi Protected Setup process is active, the light flashes slowly.
When the Wi-Fi Protected Setup is successful, the light is continuously lit.
• If there is an error, the light flashes quickly for two minutes; please wait
and try again.
•
Wait until the light is continuously lit before starting the next Wi-Fi
Protected Setup session.
Connecting the extender to an existing access point
