The location that you choose must be within the range of your existing WiFi router
network.
5. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet and wait for the Power LED
to light green.
6. Use the Router Link LED
to help you choose a spot where the extender-to-router
connection is optimal.
7. If the Router Link LED does not light amber or green, plug the extender into an outlet closer
to the router and try again.
Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router until the Router Link LED lights
amber or green.
Connect Ethernet-Enabled Devices
After the extender is connected to your existing WiFi network, you can connect a device to
the extender using an Ethernet cable. Then that device can access your existing network
through the extender-to-router WiFi connection.
