The Range Extender is equipped with a Signal Strength LED on the front of the
device to help you find the most optimal location. After setup, the LED can be your
guide for positioning the Extender to a better location (if needed). It may take 1-3
minutes for the LED to register after powering on the Extender. For optimal
performance, we recommend a signal strength of at least 70%.
Finding an Optimal Placement Location (Signal Strength LED)
Solid Green: Excellent Signal 65-100%
Blinking Green: Moderate Signal 64% and below
No Light: No Connection
Note: The LED will not turn on if the Extender is not connected to a Home Network.
