Step 1: Plug the Extender in the socket, and reset it if you ever configured it before. Please locate the extender in the same room with your main router, after the configuration, you can relocate it.

Step 2: Connect your phone/iPad to the Wi-Fi signal of the Range Extender. The default Wi-Fi name of the extender is showed in the label of the extender.

Step 4: Select the main router’s Wi-Fi name (2.4G and 5G) and input the Wi-Fi password of them. Please make sure that you know and input the correct password of each network (Very Important!). If your main router only has 2.4G network, you can skip the 5G configuration.

       

       

Step 5: Configure the extended network, you can click the “Network Name” to edit it, but the password of your extended networks are same to the Host network. And then click “Next”.

Note: The Range Extender will broadcast its 2.4G/5G network to extend the Wi-Fi coverage in your home. We suggest you configure the different Wi-Fi name for the extender, for example, add “_EXT” in the Wi-Fi name. This will make it easier for you to confirm if you configured the extender successfully. And you can also change it to the same as the host Wi-Fi later, it would make it easier for your end devices to switch between router and extender automatically.

Step 6: Check your configuration, including “Host Network” settings and “Extended Network” settings. After that you can click finish, and the extender will start applying your settings. This page shows the Wi-Fi names and passwords of your main router and extender.
