Wired
1. Connect the Fios Home Router to a coax outlet. (If the
coax outlet is already in use, use the coax splitter included
in the box.)
2. Connect the Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender to a coax outlet—
ideally in an area with spotty Wi-Fi coverage.
3. Connect the power cords from the router & extender to
an electrical outlet.
4. The light on the extender should turn solid white within
10 minutes, indicating the connection is complete.
Note: If home is wired Ethernet, follow same steps as
above using an Ethernet cable instead of a coax cable.
Wireless
1. Place the Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender directly next to the Fios Home Router.
2. Connect the power cord from the extender to an electrical outlet.
3. When the light on the extender is solid yellow, press and hold the front
buttons on both the router and extender for about 5 seconds. The lights
on the router and extender should turn blinking blue while the wireless
connection is initiating.
4. When the wireless connection is established, extender will start
firmware update. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete
the firmware update. Do NOT unplug extender during the firmware
upgrade (blinking white).
5. Once the firmware update is complete and the extender starts fast blinking
yellow, you can now unplug and move the extender to an area between the
router and an area with spotty Wi-Fi coverage. Once plugged in, the light
should turn solid white again within a few minutes.
You’re all set!
Once you’ve completed the above Wired or Wireless steps,
your devices will automatically connect to your Wi-Fi network, there’s nothing
more to do.
