Join the Extender WiFi Network
After you install the extender, you can join the extender WiFi network.
To join the extender network:
1. Take your computer or wireless device to the location with poor
WiFi coverage.
2. Find the new extender network name (MyNetworkName_EXT).
3. Select this network and enter the same WiFi password that you use
for your home network.
4. Within 2 minutes, check the arrow LEDs on the extender.
•If no arrow is lit, the location is good.
•When the extender connects to a network and a client joins
the extender network, an arrow LED blinks for 2 minutes if
the WiFi signal strength is weak to or from the extender.
Blinking left arrow. The extender is too far away from
the router or gateway.
Blinking right arrow. The extender is too far away
from your computer or wireless device.
Note: If you are having trouble getting a good WiFi signal, try to
create a better line of sight. For example, move the router up off the
floor onto a table or desk, or move furniture that might be blocking the
extender.
