•
Existing WiFi network name
. MyNetworkName
•
New extended network name
. MyNetworkName_EXT

Connect your computer or WiFi devices to the new extended WiFi network.
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.

The location that you choose must be within the range of your existing WiFi router
network.

to light amber and then turn green. If the Power LED does not

Use the Router Link LED
on the front panel to help you choose a spot where the
extender-to-router connection is optimal.
