SETTING UP THE EXTENDER IN AP MODE
Setting up the Extender in AP Mode
The difference between extender mode and access point mode is that an extender has a
wireless uplink to the router and an access point has a wired uplink to the router.
Note: Choosing to change the mode is a somewhat advanced task.
To set up an extender in AP mode, first connect it to a PC or Mac computer or a laptop
using an Internet cable (see “Setting up Your Extender Manually” on page 9), and then
change its mode to AP mode. To use the extender as an access point, connect the extender
directly to your router using an internet cable.
You can set up the extender in AP mode from the Welcome screen on the Wireless Settings
page.
1. Launch a web browser, and type WDRangeextender in the address field.
2. Do one of the following:
If the Welcome page displays, set Mode to AP and click Next:
The My Dashboard Home page displays the mode as Wireless range extender:

TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
The power LED does not illuminate.
1. Ensure that the power cord is correctly connected
to the extender.
2. Ensure that the electrical outlet is working properly.
To do this, plug a different electronic device into the
outlet and try to power it on.
3. Ensure that you are using the AC adapter provided
with the extender.
A port number LED does not illuminate.
1. Ensure that the connected device is powered on.
2. Ensure that the Ethernet cable(s) are securely
connected to the ports on both the device and the
extender.
3. To ensure that the cable between the extender and
the electronic device is working properly, replace it
with another cable.
Computers are unable to access the
Internet.
1. Ensure that the extender is powered on. The power
LED should be solid and not flashing.
2. Check the cable connections between the modem,
extender and computer. The Ethernet cable
connected to your modem should be connected to
the Internet port on the extender. An Ethernet cable
from your computer should be connected to a LAN
port on the side of the extender.
3. Power off and power on your modem, extender, and
computer.
4. If all else fails, install My Net View from the product
CD or contact Technical Support at
http://support.wdc.com or your ISP.
All front panel LEDs flash continuously.
1. Relocate your extender to a place that has good
ventilation.
2. Turn off your extender, and set it aside for 15 to 20
minutes until it cools down. Turn your extender back
on to resume operation.
3. If the problem persists, contact Technical Support at
http://support.wdc.com.

Limited Warranty
WD warrants that the Product, in the course of its normal use, will for the term defined below, be free from
defects in material and workmanship and will conform to WD’s specification therefor. The term of your limited
warranty depends on the country in which your Product was purchased. The term of your limited warranty is for
1 year in the North, South and Central America region, 2 years in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa region,
and 1 year in the Asia Pacific region, unless otherwise required by law. The term of your limited warranty period
shall commence on the purchase date appearing on your purchase receipt. WD may at its discretion make
extended warranties available for purchase. WD shall have no liability for any Product returned if WD determines
that the Product was stolen from WD or that the asserted defect a) is not present, b) cannot reasonably be
rectified because of damage occurring before WD receives the Product, or c) is attributable to misuse, improper
installation, alteration (including removing or obliterating labels and opening or removing external enclosures,
unless the product is on the list of limited user-serviceable products and the specific alteration is within the scope
of the applicable instructions, as found at http://support.wdc.com), accident or mishandling while in the
possession of someone other than WD. Subject to the limitations specified above, your sole and exclusive
warranty shall be, during the period of warranty specified above and at WD’s option, the repair or replacement of
the Product with an equivalent or better Product. The foregoing warranty of WD shall extend to repaired or
replaced Products for the balance of the applicable period of the original warranty or ninety (90) days from the
date of shipment of a repaired or replaced Product, whichever is longer.
The foregoing limited warranty is WD’s sole warranty and is applicable only to products sold as new. The
remedies provided herein are in lieu of a) any and all other remedies and warranties, whether expressed, implied
or statutory, including but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular
purpose, and b) any and all obligations and liabilities of WD for damages including, but not limited to accidental,
consequential, or special damages, or any financial loss, lost profits or expenses, or lost data arising out of or in
connection with the purchase, use, or performance of the Product, even if WD has been advised of the possibility
of such damages. In the United States, some states do not allow exclusion or limitations of incidental or
consequential damages, so the limitations above may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
