Troubleshooting and Support
My router has no WPS button, how do i connect
the Range Extender?
Your router does not support WPS, please use Option
2 to setup the Range Extender using a web browser.
Why does the WPS LED not change from blinking
to solid green after completing Option 2?
• You may have entered the wireless password of your
router incorrectly during the conguration. Please
login to the Extender’s web management page, and
double-check your router’s wireless password.

• If the RE LED still keeps blinking, please reset the
Extender and go through the conguration
again.
What should I do when the WPS LED is on, but
only one band is connected?
It depends on your router capabilities, if either the
2.4G or 5G LED is not on while the Extender
connected to your router/network, press the WPS
button on the router and the Range Extender
again to connect the other band.
