The Xplore Whole Home Wi-Fi network enables superior coverage in every room
in bigger homes by deploying one or more Whole Home Wi-Fi Units in distant
locations to extend your Wi-Fi signal.
Connecting your Whole Home Wi-Fi Units to the Wi-Fi Hub:
If you already have Xplore Whole Home Wi-Fi Units in use, you will need to
perform a factory reset rst using the Reset button on the back (hold for 10
seconds, wait 3 mins for it to power on fully). Repeat for all units.
1Plug the Whole Home Wi-Fi Unit into a power outlet near the area you want
to cover with Wi-Fi. Wait 3 minutes for it to start up. LED Light at the front of the
device would be solid Red while it is booting up.
2Press the WPS button on the back of the Xplore Hub unit, and then the blue
WPS button on the front of the Whole Home Wi-Fi Unit. The light on the Whole
Home Wi-Fi Unit will turn blue, once it has synchronized. If it does not turn solid
blue but shows ashing blue instead, the unit may need to be placed closer
to the Hub.
3Repeat for the other Whole Home Wi-Fi Units if applicable. If the LED light of
the Whole Home Wi-Fi Unit ashes in red, this indicates failure to sync with the
Hub. Repeat steps 1-3 again.
Your Wi-Fi name and password will still remain the same in all areas covered by
the Whole Home Wi-Fi Units.
For instructions on how to install your Wi-Fi Hub, please refer to the Hub 5 easy setup guide.

2Plug the power adaptor to a 120 volt power outlet and the Whole Home Wi-Fi Units
will turn on.

the red WAN port on the Whole Home Wi-Fi Unit. This Whole Home Wi-Fi Unit now is
your controller and will provide Wi-Fi for your devices or connect to other Whole
Home Wi-Fi Units.
4To connect other Whole Home Wi-Fi Units wirelessly to the controller Whole Home
Wi-Fi Unit, follow the same steps as the previous section for the Wi-Fi Hub, using the
blue WPS blue buttons on the devices.
Note : You can make cabled connections (like a PC) from any of the connected pods
using the yellow LAN ports in the back and the yellow cable.

Tips to maximize coverage:
• The less walls and ceilings between your Whole Home Wi-Fi Unit or other devices, the
stronger the signal.
• Place the Whole Home Wi-Fi Units at least 6 feet away from electrical devices or
components that generate interference like a microwave oven, home security system
or bluetooth devices.
• Make sure the Whole Home Wi-Fi Units are placed within at least 10 meters of the
controller unit.
