the wireless router and the place you will use it, in order to extend the
coverage. Wait for the WLAN indicator to turn solid green, then the network
is ready to use. Plug in the extender halfway between your router and the
WiFi dead zone. Wait for the WLAN LED to blink and the device is ready to
connect.

from the WiFi network.
Make sure the extender is
powered on and the WLAN
indicator is solid green. Try to

Possible solution
Troubleshooting
Connect via WPS button
WPS is a faster method to connect your extender to the WiFi network. Make
sure your router supports WPS and has a button similar to the following
icons. Press the button on your router and then the extender within a short
period of time. Wait until you see the “xxxxxx_ext” on your nearby network,
which means that the setup is complete. The password is the same as your
original router.
