Getting Started

Universal Dual Band WiFi Extender – Desktop/Wallplug

Position the Extender

The best connection is established when there is a clear line of sight between the extender

and the router and between the extender and the computer or wireless device. If this straight

path is blocked by a thick wall or other materials, move the extender to a different location

half-way between the computer and the router.

If the Link Rate LED is green or amber and the Wireless Device to Extender LED is green,

the e

xtender is working as expected.

 To place the extender and apply power:

1 Place the extende

r an equal distance between your router and the wireless device

located outside the range of your router.

2 Plug the extender into an electrical outlet, and wait 1 minute until the Power LED turns

green.

• If you have to

use a different location, move the extender closer to the device, but still

within the wireless range of the router.

• During

installation, you can put the extender in the same room as the router. After you

complete installation, you can move the extender to a location that is halfway between

the router and your computer, and still displaying a green link rate.

 To improve the Link Rate LED from red or amber to green:

1 If the Link Rate LED is red

, move the extender closer to the router or to a different spot

where it provides a better line of sight.

2 As

you move the extender, check the LEDs until you find a location where the Link Rate

LED is green or amber, and the Wireless Device to Extender LED

is green.

3 Y

ou might have to unplug the extender as you move it to a different location. If you do, from

the new location, power up the extender and continue to check the LEDs.

Once the LEDs show that the extender is in a good location, open a browser and go to
