Troubleshooting and Support

1

My router has no WPS button, how do I connect

the Range extender?
Your router does not support WPS, please use Option
2 to set up the extender.

How do I restore the extender to its factory

default settings?
While the extender is plugged into an electrical outlet,
press and hold the Reset button until all the LEDs turn
on momentarily, then release the button.

Why does the

RE LED not change to a
solid state after completing Option 2?
You may have entered the incorrect Wi-Fi
password of your main network during the
configuration. Please log into the Extender's
web-based interface to check the password
and try again.

What do I do if I cannot access the

Extenders web-based interface?
Make sure your computer is
connected to the extended network.
Make sure your computer is set to
obtain an IP address automatically.

If the
RE LED still does not change to a
solid state, please reset the extender and go
through the configuration again.
