Repeat steps 2 and 3 in this guide with the second TV Receiver.

Adding a second Wireless TV Receiver

Press the OK button on the TV Receiver. On your TV screen, you will see the
gray/white antenna “Searching for Wireless Access Point” (see Figure 3A).

Go to the WAP and press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button
on the front of the unit. Yo u should see a fast-blinking green LED bar
under the WPS button.

Go back to the TV and TV Receiver. Depending upon how quickly you return to your T V, you may see a green
antenna on your TV once the pairing has been successful (see Figure 3B), or you may see the solid green Link
LED light on the front of the TV Receiver. Either indicator means a successful pairing.

• Pairing occurs very quickly. If you are pairing from another room, you may not see the connection

confirmation screen with the green antenna as it appears only momentarily.

• If you see a red antenna as in Figure 3C, see the “Specific issues” section on the back of this guide.

• In order to ensure you have proper signal strength, at least three green LED bars should be displayed on

the front of the TV Receiver (see Figure 3D).

• Please allow up to 10 minutes for your TV Receiver to boot up. Please do not turn off your TV Receiver

during this time. TV programming will automatically appear when the boot-up process is complete.

Congratulations! You have paired your Wireless TV Receiver and are ready to enjoy U-verse TV.
