The Extender is now synced with the gateway/modem's Wi-Fi settings.

Connecting the Extender

Now that the Extender is synced with the gateway/modem's wireless
network, it can be connected to the gateway/modem's MoCA network
and placed in another area or room of the home/office. To do this:
1. Place the Extender in an area where the Wi-Fi signal is weak or
spotty. A coaxial outlet must be available nearby.
2. Connect the included coaxial cable into the Coax port on the rear
panel of the Extender.
3. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable into the nearby coaxial
outlet.
4. Plug the Extender's power adapter into the Power port of the
Extender, and the other end into an electrical wall outlet.
5. If applicable, connect an Ethernet cable between one of the Extender's
LAN ports and the Ethernet port of a non-wireless device (wireless
devices will connect via the wireless network). The configuration
should look similar to the figure, below:
