Plug the extender into an electrical outlet at the new location and restart the extender.
Unless the extender is outside the range of your WiFi router, the extender connects
automatically to the WiFi router.
The Link Rate LEDs help you choose a spot where the extender-to-router connection is
optimal. The following tables describe how the LEDs show the quality of the connection.
2.4 GHz LED Status
Both the Link Rate LED and the Device
to Extender LED are green.
The Link Rate LED is amber and the
Device to Extender LED is green.
The Link Rate LED is red.
The Link Rate LED is off.
5 GHz LED Status
Both the Link Rate LED and the Device
to Extender LED are green.
The Link Rate LED is amber and the
Device to Extender LED is green.
The Link Rate LED is red.
The Link Rate LED is off.
If the Link Rate LED is off, the extender cannot connect to the WiFi router. If the Link Rate
LED is red, the extender has a poor connection to the WiFi router.

If the extender has no connection or a poor connection, move the extender closer to your
WiFi router and try again until the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Link Rate LED is green, or at least
amber.

Use a WiFi network manager on the computer or mobile device to connect to the extender's
newly created WiFi network.
By default, the extender adds _2GEXT to the end of the 2.4 GHz network name and
_5GEXT to the end of the 5 GHz network name, for example:
•
Existing network name. MyNetworkName
•
New extended 2.4 GHz network name. MyNetworkName_2GEXT
•
New extended 5 GHz network name. MyNetworkName_5GEXT

Select the new network and use your WiFi router password to connect.
You are now using your extended WiFi network.
