My router has no WPS button, how do i connect

1

the Range Extender?

Your router does not support WPS, please use Option
1 to setup the Range Extender using a web browser.

Why does the RE LED not change from blinking to

2

solid green after completing Option 2?

• You may have entered the wireless password of your
router incorrectly during the conguration. Please
login to the Extender’s web management page, and
double-check your router’s wireless password.

• If the RE LED still keeps blinking, please reset the
Extender and go through the conguration again.

What should I do when the RE LED is on, but

3

only one band is connected?

It depends on your router capabilities, if either the

2.4G or 5G LED is not on while the Extender
connected to your router/network, press the WPS
button on the router and the Range Extender
again to connect the other band.

What do I do if I cannot access the Extender’s

4

web management page?

• Make sure your computer is connected to the
Extender’s network.

• Change the computer’s xed IP address to

Obtain an IP Address Automatically.

How do I restore the Range Extender to its

5

factory default settings?

With the Extender powered on, use a pin to
press and hold the RESET button at the
bottom of the unit, until all LEDs start ashing
once then release the button.
