If the Router LED does not light, try again. If it still does not light, see
Connect with Web Browser Setup on page 8.
3. If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band, repeat steps 1 and 2 to
connect the extender to the 5 GHz band.
4. Find the new extended WiFi network name on your computer or WiFi
device.
The extender’s wireless network name (SSID) changes to your
existing network name, with _2GEXT or _5GEXT at the end of the
name, depending on whether the extender is connecting to your WiFi
network in 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
For example:
• Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
• New extended network name. MyNetworkName_2GEXT
or
MyNetworkName_5GEXT
5. Connect your computer or WiFi devices to the new extended WiFi
network.
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.
6. Unplug the extender and move it to a new location closer to the area
with a poor WiFi signal.
