3.2.2 Unify and Extend Wi-Fi Network via AP Clone
To unify and extend your network, you can set up a network between the router and the extender
via powerline pairing and AP clone.
Powerline pairing enables the router and the extender to form a secured network. AP clone
enables the extender to automatically synchronize wireless settings (such as the SSID and
wireless password) with the router, providing you a secured network roaming experience.
Please follow the steps below to get started.
) Note:
The router supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks while the extender supports only 2.4GHz
network. So the extender can only synchronize wireless settings of 2.4GHz network.
1. Plug the extender into a wall socket near the router.
2. Press the AP CLONE/PAIR button on the router’s side panel and the router’s Power LED will
blink.
