Follow me to extend your Wi-Fi network.

Plug in the new extender in the same room with one of your existing powerline devices.

Check the new extender’s Powerline LED , is it on?

Proceed to Step .

Continue with the steps below.

Powerline

Relocate the new extender to the Wi-Fi “dead” zone. Use the SSID and password on the provided Wi-Fi Info Card to connect to the Internet.

* A red Powerline LED indicates poor signal strength, move the extender to another

location.

If you cannot nd the SSID on the Info card in your Wi-Fi network list, which means the existing wireless settings have synced to your new extender via the Wi-Fi Auto-Sync feature (see back for more info), use the same SSID and password of the existing powerline network to connect.
