Relocate your extender

After extender setup, find an ideal location for your range extender.

1. Plug in the extender about halfway between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone. The location you choose must be within the range of your router.

2. Wait for about 2 minutes until the Signal LED turns blue. If it doesn't, relocate the extender closer to the router to achieve better signal quality.

Connect to network

Find the network names with _EXT or _5GEXT added to the end of your existing network in your Wi-Fi network list and connect to it. If you have changed the network name, find the network you set. And by default, the password of the extended network is the same as your existing Wi-Fi network.
