Improve the Connection Between the Extender and the
WiFi Router
The extender LEDs can help you tell whether the extender is correctly set up and working as
it should.

To improve the connection between the extender and the WiFi router:
1. Move the extender closer to the WiFi router or to a different spot where it provides a
better line of sight.
You might need to unplug the extender, plug it in again at its new location, and restart it.
Unless the extender is outside the range of your WiFi router, the extender connects
automatically to the WiFi router.
2. As you move the extender, continue to check the Link Rate LED and the Device to Extender
LED on the top panel until you find a location where the Link Rate LED is green or amber,
and the Device to Extender LED is green.
The following tables describe how the LEDs show the quality of the connection.
