The location that you choose must be within the range of your existing WiFi router
network.
4. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet and wait for the Power LED to light green.
5. Use the Router Link LED to help you choose a spot where the extender-to-router
connection is optimal.

router and try again.
Keep moving the extender closer to the router until the Router Link LED lights amber
