or
Method 2: Via a Web

its wireless settings. For more information, refer to

4. Relocate your extender for optimal Wi-Fi coverage and performance.
1 ) Plug in the extender about halfway between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone.
The location you choose must be within the range of your router.
2 ) Wait for about 2 minutes until the Signal LED
turns solid blue. If it doesn’t,
relocate the extender closer to the router to achieve better signal quality.
