Place the Booster
1. Relocate the Booster to an area of the house halfway between where you
have an excellent wireless signal and where you have no signal. You can
use the Wi-Fi signal strength gauge in the HughesNet Mobil
e App to help
nd this area. Ensure the area around the Booster is not cluttered and
provides adequate ventilation for the device.
2. Plug in the Booster and power it on. The LED will turn blue when the
Booster connects to the HT2000W’s Wi-Fi network. This may take about 1
minute. If the LED does not turn blue, see Table 1 to diagnose the issue.
3. Test the wireless connection using your smart device. Your smart device
will
seamlessly connect to the Booster using the same SSID and password
that you use for the HT2000W.
4. If it is not already, orient the Booster in its vertical operating position, with
the LED on the bottom of the device.
