4. General information and considerations
When the Wi-Fi extender is connected, it will automatically be provisioned by your operator.
However, the level of configuration can vary from a completely automatic configuration to full
manual configuration, depending on what your operator offers.
Follow the specific configuration instructions you have received from your operator or follow
these instructions if you have not received any specific instructions.
Before you start, take notice of the following important recommendations.
Wi-Fi extenders and power supplies are electrical devices that can overheat without
ventilation.
Place the device standing, or wall mounted, on a firm and flat surface and do not cover
or crowd them with objects or clothing that prevents good ventilation. The Wi-Fi
extender must always be installed away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
For best Wi-Fi performance place the unit standing, in a high and free position,
preferably in a central location of the home, 1 meter or more above the floor.
Connect the power cord to the AC/DC adapter
1. Connect the AC/DC adapter power cord to the power connector (#5) on the backside of
the unit.
2. Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
3. Check that the connection LED on the front side is lit (RED).
5. Automatic Provisioning
When the Wi-Fi extender is properly connected, and by following the procedures in this
guide, an automatic configuration will begin.
The Wi-Fi extender is pre-loaded with software, but it will often download newer software and
settings from your operator after the device network connection procedure has taken place.
Just wait until the network connection LED turn stable GREEN, which normally takes a few
minutes, but can take up to 15 minutes. If the LEDs have still not turned stable GREEN after
30 minutes, then reboot the device by unplugging the power cord. If problem persists, contact
your operator.
