Test the extended WiFi range by moving your computer or WiFi device to the area with a
poor router WiFi signal:
a. Leave your computer or WiFi device in the area with a poor router WiFi signal and
return to the extender.
b. Check the Device to Extender LED
•
If the Device to Extender LED is solid green or amber, your extended WiFi
network reaches the area with a poor router WiFi signal and your network setup is
complete.
•
If the Device to Extender LED is red, your extended WiFi network does not reach
the area with a poor router WiFi signal.
You must move the computer or WiFi device closer to the extender until the
Device to Extender LED turns solid green or amber.
Connect Ethernet-Enabled Devices
After the extender is connected to your existing WiFi network, you can connect wired devices
to the extender using Ethernet cables. Those devices can then access your existing network
through the extender's WiFi connection.
