Wiring Instructions:

Wi-Fi Socket Range Extender N300 & Wi-Fi Socket Range Extender N300 + USB Charger

Positioning your Wi-Fi socket

Your Wi-Fi socket should be positioned half way between your router and the Wi-Fi dead-zone
Use the signal strength indicator on your mobile device to determine the mid-signal point

BEFORE COMMENCING WORK ALWAYS ISOLATE
THE POWER AT THE CONSUMER UNIT / FUSE BOX.

1. Unscrew the socket from the wall/mounting box.

2. Note the cable connections: There will generally be three different wiring
configurations, this illustration shows a single wire of each colour connected
to each terminal (there could be two or three wires of each colour connected
to each terminal) + an additional connection between the mounting box earth
terminal and the socket earth terminal.

3. Unscrew each terminal to release the wires.

Power off Replacing an existing socket (removal)

1. Line up the new socket to mounting box and
take note of where each terminal is located.

2. Connect each wire to the matching terminal.
(refer to key in step 2)

An earth connection should always be made
between the mounting box earth terminal and the
socket earth terminal.

Make sure no copper wire is exposed & that only
the bare end enters the terminal.

3. Tighten terminal screws securely.
(do not over tighten)

1. Install mounting box (metal or patress) for
either flush or surface mounting, ensuring
appropriate size of product. (mounting box to
be purchased separately)

2. Select the most suitable entry point of
the mounting box (knock-out) and route the
supply cable through.

3. Cables should be prepared so a sufficient
conductor length reaches the terminals. Strip
the ends of the individual conductors leaving
an adequate length bare to enter terminals.

USB Charger information:

2.1A USB port for charging mobile devices such as mobile phones, MP3 players and tablets.

2.1A 5V output from the USB output

• 2.1A is sufficient power output to charge the majority of USB products.

• The total output current achieved is dictated by specific device being charged and other external factors, such as the
quality of charging cable being used.

• Overload protection for connected devices.

Low energy stand-by mode

• When not in use the USB socket is in a low energy stand-by mode.

The USB circuits on this socket are designed to withstand insulation resistance tests at 500V. A reading of 0.4Ω +/-0.05
is typically caused by the USB socket

Note - The front surface of this product may become warm in use. This is normal and not cause for concern.

Wi-Fi Socket
Beginners Guide

What is a Wi-Fi range extended socket?

Range extenders take your existing internet wireless signal and
rebroadcast it to areas in your home and garden where Wi-Fi
is weak or non-existent.

Why do I need a range extender?

If you suffer from patchy speed and stability
in your home and garden, a range extender
will increase the reach of your Wi-Fi signal.

How do they work?

By positioning the Wi-Fi socket halfway between
your router and the area of poor reception, the
range extender will relay the signal to further
spread coverage. Wi-Fi socket will work with
any wireless broadband router, whether your
internet comes through the phone line (ADSL)
or from Fibre (Fibre Optic).
