Quick Start
Gaming Router and Mesh WiFi System
Model XRM570
1. Unplug your extender and move it to a new location.
We recommend that the new location be about halfway between your router
and the area with a poor WiFi signal.
The extender must be within the range of your router WiFi network.
2. Power on your extender.
3. Use the Router Link LED
to find a spot where the extender-to-router
connection is optimal.
This LED indicates the WiFi connection between the extender and the router:
Solid white
. Best connection.
Solid amber
. Good connection.
Solid red
. Poor connection.
Off
. No connection.
Note:
If the Router Link LED doesn’t light solid white, we recommend that
you move your extender closer to your router and check the LED again.

After the setup, your extender uses the same WiFi settings as your router. Use
your router’s WiFi network name and password to connect your WiFi-enabled
devices to the WiFi network.
We recommend that you enable the Smart Connect feature on your router and
the One WiFi Name feature on your extender. When these two features are
enabled your network broadcasts one WiFi name only:
• On your router, if you enabled the Smart Connect feature, your router uses
the same WiFi settings for its 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi networks.
• On your extender, the One WiFi Name feature is automatically enabled after
the setup, which allows your extender to use the same WiFi network settings
as your router.
Find a good spot for your extender
Connect your devices to the WiFi network
1. Press the
WPS
button on the extender until the WPS LED
blinks white.
2. Within two minutes, press the
WPS
button on your router.
When the extender connects to the router, the Router Link LED
lights.
If the Router Link LED lights white, the connection between your router
and extender is good. If the Router Link LED lights amber or red, move the
extender closer to the router and try again.
Note:
If your router supports the 5 GHz band and your extender didn’t
connect to that band, repeat the WPS process.
Troubleshooting
After the installation is complete, if the Router Link LED
on your extender is
not lit, your extender didn’t connect to your router.
You must use WPS to connect your extender to your router.
