Wiring Instructions:

Wi-Fi Socket Range Extender N300 & Wi-Fi Socket Range Extender N300 + USB Charger

Positioning your Wi-Fi socket

Your Wi-Fi socket should be positioned half way between your router and the Wi-Fi dead-zone 
Use the signal strength indicator on your mobile device to determine the mid-signal point

BEFORE COMMENCING WORK ALWAYS ISOLATE 
THE POWER AT THE CONSUMER UNIT / FUSE BOX.

1. Unscrew the socket from the wall/mounting box.
2. Note the cable connections: There will generally be three different wiring 
configurations, this illustration shows a single wire of each colour connected 
to each terminal  (there could be two or three wires of each colour connected 
to each terminal) + an additional connection between the mounting box earth 
terminal and the socket earth terminal.
3. Unscrew each terminal to release the wires.

Power off

Replacing an existing socket (removal)

1. Line up the new socket to mounting box and 
take note of where each terminal is located.
2. Connect each wire to the matching terminal. 
(refer to key in step 2)
An earth connection should always be made 
between the mounting box earth terminal and the 
socket earth terminal.
Make sure no copper wire is exposed & that only 
the bare end enters the terminal.
3. Tighten terminal screws securely. 
(do not over tighten)

1. Install mounting box (metal or patress) for 
either flush or surface mounting, ensuring 
appropriate size of product. (mounting box to 
be purchased separately)
2. Select the most suitable entry point of 
the mounting box (knock-out) and route the 
supply cable through.
3. Cables should be prepared so a sufficient 
conductor length reaches the terminals. Strip 
the ends of the individual conductors leaving 
an adequate length bare to enter terminals.

USB Charger information:

2.1A USB port for charging mobile devices such as mobile phones, MP3 players and tablets.

2.1A 5V output from the USB output

•  2.1A is sufficient power output to charge the majority of USB products.
•  The total output current achieved is dictated by specific device being charged and other external factors, such as the 

quality of charging cable being used.

•  Overload protection for connected devices.

Low energy stand-by mode

•  When not in use the USB socket is in a low energy stand-by mode.
The USB circuits on this socket are designed to withstand insulation resistance tests at 500V. A reading of 0.4Ω +/-0.05 
is typically caused by the USB socket

Note - The front surface of this product may become warm in use. This is normal and not cause for concern.
