Troubleshooting and Support

The Range Extender can be used as a wireless

adapter to connect any Ethernet-enabled device,

such as a Blu-ray player, game console, DVR, or smart

TV, to your wireless network.

following the instructions in Option 1 or Option 2,

then connect an Ethernet-enabled device to the

extender using an Ethernet cable as shown in the

diagram on the right.

My router has no WPS button, how do I connect

the extender?

Your router does not support WPS, please use Option

1 to set up the extender.

Why both 2.4G and 5G LEDs are still o after

completing Option 1?

• You may have entered the incorrect Wi-Fi password

of your main network during the conguration.

Please log into the Extender's web-based interface

to check the password and try again.

• If the 2.4G and 5G LEDs are still o, please reset the

extender and go through the conguration again.

What should I do when I cannot connect the

extender via WPS?

Some dual-band routers may be trouble

connecting to the extender via WPS. If you

experience connection issues, please congure

the extender using Option 1.

What should I do if I cannot access the

Extender's web interface?

• Make sure your computer is connected to the

extended network.

• Make sure your computer is set to obtain an

IP address automatically.

3How do I restore the extender to its factory

default settings?

With the extender powered on, use a pin to

press the Reset button until all the LEDs turn

on momentarily, then release the button.
