4.Find the new extender network name.

The extender’s wireless network name (SSID) changes to your existing WiFi 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 existing WiFi devices to the new extended 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.

The location you choose must be within the range of your existing WiFi router network.

7.Plug the extender into an electrical outlet and wait one minute.

The Power LED lights green. If the Power LED does not light, press the Power button.

Use the Router Link LED on the front panel to help you choose a spot where the extender-to-router connection is optimal.
