N600 WiFi Range Extender

8. 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 LED Color Performance

Both the Link Rate LED and the Device

to Extender LED are green.

and The extender provides the best performance.

The Link Rate LED is amber and the

Device to Extender LED is green.

and The extender provides a workable performance.

The Link Rate LED is red.

and The extender provides a poor performance.

The Link Rate LED is off. The extender cannot function.

5 GHz LED Status LED Color Performance

Both the Link Rate LED and the Device

to Extender LED are green.

and The extender provides the best performance.

The Link Rate LED is amber and the

Device to Extender LED is green.

and The extender provides a workable performance.

The Link Rate LED is red.

and The extender provides a poor performance.

The Link Rate LED is off. The extender cannot function.

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.

9. 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.

10. 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

11. Select the new network and use your WiFi router password to connect.

You are now using your extended WiFi network.
