AC750 Dual Band WiFi Range Extender
Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router until the Router Link LED lights
amber or green.
8. On your computer or WiFi device, find and connect to the new extended WiFi network.
The extender creates two new extended WiFi networks. The extender’s new WiFi
network names are based on your existing WiFi network name, with _2GEXT and
_5GEXT at the end of the name.
For example:
• Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
• New extended network names. MyNetworkName_2GEXT and
MyNetworkName_5GEXT
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.
9. Test the extended WiFi range by moving your computer or WiFi device to the area with a
poor router WiFi signal:
a. Leave your computer or WiFi device in the area with a poor router WiFi signal and
return to the extender.
b. Check the Device Link LED on the extender:
• If the Device Link LED is solid green or amber, your extended WiFi network
reaches the area with a poor router WiFi signal and your network setup is
complete.
• If the Device Link LED is red, your extended WiFi network does not reach the area
with a poor router WiFi signal.
You must move the computer or WiFi device closer to the extender until the
Device Link LED turns solid green or amber.
