 Extenders

Find the Best Location

If the WiFi signal is weak, the first time you join the extender network, the Router Link LED or 
Device Link LED is amber or red. If this happens, adjust the position of the extender:

If the Router Link LED is amber or red, move the extender closer to the router.

If the Device Link LED is amber or red, move the computer or WiFi device closer to the 
extender.

Connect an Ethernet-Enabled Device

After an extender is connected to your existing WiFi network, you can connect wired devices 

to the extender using an Ethernet cable. The device can then access your existing network 
through the extender’s WiFi connection.
