Steps 1 and 2 to connect the extender to the 5 GHz
band.

is about halfway between your router and the area with
a poor router WiFi signal.
The location that you choose must be within the range
of your existing WiFi router network.

names. MyNetworkName_2GEXT and
MyNetworkName_5GEXT

router.
9. Test the new extender WiFi range by moving your
computer or mobile device to the area with a poor router
WiFi signal:
a. Leave your computer or mobile device in the area
with a poor router WiFi signal and return to the
extender.
b. Check the Device LED on the extender:
• If the Device LED is solid green or amber, your
new extender WiFi network reaches the area
with a poor router WiFi signal and your network
setup is complete.
• If the Device LED is red, your new extender WiFi
network does not reach the area with a poor
router WiFi signal.
You must move your computer or mobile device
closer to the extender until the Device LED
turns solid green or amber.
