You can use this method if you have a wireless router, or a modem router with a WPS (Wi-Fi

 To use the WPS button on your router or gateway to clone your existing wireless

network:

1. Pre

The Wireless LED starts to blink.

ton on the wireless router or gateway.

When the Wireless LED stops blinking, t

he cloning is finalized and the XWN5001

recreates a WiFi access point with the same SSID and password as your router or

re roaming in your house, your wireless client (laptop, tablet, or smartphone)

switches from one network (router or gateway) to the other (XWN5001), depending on

the signal quality.

Note: This method clones your wireless client and, at the same time,

secures the connection with a random password.
