cable to the Range Expander

the Auto Configuration button,
place the Range Expander
next to your wireless router or
access point. Then proceed to
step B.

power plate to the Range
Expander, and then plug it into
a power outlet, preferably a
surge protector.

to Step 2: Using the Auto

has security enabled, proceed
to Step 3: Using the Setup
