Connecting your Wi-Fi Extender and
accessing its web-based User Interface
(UI) are both simple procedures.
Accessing the UI may vary slightly,
depending on your device’s operating
system and web browser.

SETTING UP YOUR WIFI EXTENDER
./ SETTING UP YOUR WIFI EXTENDER
Note: Using a wired backhaul, the Wi-Fi Extender can be placed
at a location distant from the Verizon Router, and positioned for
optimum coverage. Using Wi-Fi backhaul, performance can be
slower and the distance from the Router will be determined by
the reach of Wi-Fi from the Verizon Router, the materials in the
home, and neighboring Wi-Fi trac. Wi-Fi backhaul is eective and
convenient for Wi-Fi configuration, but based on Wi-Fi interference
characteristics, does not perform as well as a wired connection.
2.0a/ WIRED INSTALLATION
A. Connect the Verizon Router to a coax outlet. (If the coax
outlet is already in use, use the coax splitter included in the
box.)
B. Connect the Wi-Fi Extender to a coax outlet - ideally in an
area with spotty Wi-Fi coverage.
C. Connect the power cords to the Router and Extender then
to an electrical outlet.

WIFI EXTENDER

D. After 10 minutes, the light on the Extender should turn solid
white, indicating the connection is complete.
Note: If home is wired for Ethernet, follow same steps as above
using an Ethernet cable instead of a coax cable.
2.0b/ WIRELESS WPS PAIRING
1. Before setting up the Wi-Fi Extender, make sure the internet
gateway or router you use to connect to the internet is
working properly.
2. Plug the Wi-Fi Extender into a power outlet, next to the
internet gateway or router, and wait for its light to turn solid
yellow.

SETTING UP YOUR WIFI EXTENDER
3. Press and hold the pair button on the Wi-Fi Extender for
3 seconds and then press the pair button on the router or
internet gateway (within 2 minutes). Both devices’ lights
will blink blue while pairing. Once you see a solid white or
blinking yellow light, it’s paired. After 10 minutes, the light
on the Extender should turn solid white, indicating the
connection is complete.
4. Unplug the Wi-Fi Extender, move it between the internet
gateway and the weak Wi-Fi coverage area, then plug it in. If
you see a fast blinking yellow light, try moving it a bit further
away from the internet gateway. If you see a slow-blinking
yellow light, try a bit closer. A solid white light means you
have it in the right spot and your setup is complete.
Note: The Wi-Fi Extender has a Wi-Fi Name/Password that is
dierent from the Verizon Router. When the Extender connects to
the Router via Coax, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi, the Extender is assigned
the Wi-Fi Name/Password of the Router. At this time, the Extender
doesn’t have the ability to use the Wi-Fi Name/Password on the
rear label and only uses the same Wi-Fi Name/Password as the
Router.
CONNECTING A WIFI DEVICE USING WPS
For instructions on how to connect devices to Wi-Fi using WPS,
refer to section 3.4 “Wi-Fi Protected Setup” on page 33.

MAIN SCREEN
Note: The rear label of the Wi-Fi Extender has an admin password
