1.3b/ REAR PANEL
The rear panel of your Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender has a label that
contains important information about your device, including the
default settings for the Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender’s Wi-Fi network
name (SSID), Wi-Fi password (WPA2 key), local URL for accessing
the Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender’s administrative pages, and
administrator password. The label also contains a QR code that you
can scan with your smartphone, tablet, or other camera-equipped
Wi-Fi device to allow you to automatically connect your device to
your Wi-Fi network without typing in a password (requires a QR
code reading app with support for Wi-Fi QR codes).
The rear panel has three ports; F-type coax and Ethernet LAN
[two]. The rear panel also includes a DC power jack and a reset
button.
• Ethernet LAN - connects devices to your
Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender using Ethernet cables to join the
local area network (LAN). The two Ethernet LAN ports are
10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing and can be used with either
straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables.
• Coax LAN - connects your Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender to the
LAN and/or to other MoCA devices using a coaxial cable.

1.3c/ MOUNTING THE FIOS HOME WIFI EXTENDER TO A WALL
For optimum performance, the Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender is
designed to stand in a vertical upright position. Verizon does not
recommend wall mounting the Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender. However,
if you wish to mount your Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender, you can
purchase a wall mount bracket from the Verizon Fios Accessories
Store at verizon.com/home/accessories/networking-wifi
To mount your Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender to a wall:
1. You may use the wall-mount template sheet for positioning
Note: Using a wired backhaul, the Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender
can be placed at a location distant from the Fios Home Router,
and positioned for optimum coverage. Using Wi-Fi backhaul,
performance can be slower and the distance from the router will be
determined by the reach of Wi-Fi from the Fios Home Router, the
materials in the home, and neighboring Wi-Fi trac. Wi-Fi backhaul
is an eective and convientient in home Wi-Fi configuration, but
based on Wi-Fi interference charastics, does not perform as well
as a wired connection.
2.0a/ WIRED INSTALLATION
1. Connect the Fios Home Router to a coax outlet. (If the coax
outlet is already in use, use the coax splitter included in the
box.)
2. Connect the Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender to a coax outlet -
ideally in an area with spotty Wi-Fi coverage.
3. Connect the power cord from the router and extender to an
electrical outlet.

Wi-Fi network name and password as your Fios Home Router.
2.0b/ WIFI INSTALLATION
1. Place the Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender directly next to the Fios
Home Router.
2. Connect the power cord from the extender to an electrical
outlet.
3. When the light on the extender is solid yellow, press and hold
the front buttons on both the router and extender for about
5 seconds. The lights on the router and extender should turn
solid blue while the Wi-Fi connection is initiating.
4. When the Wi-Fi connection is established, extender will
start firmware update. It will take approximately 6 minutes
to complete the firmware update. Do NOT unplug extender
during the firmware upgrade (blinking white).
5. Once the firmware update is complete and the extender
starts fast blinking yellow, you can now unplug and move the
extender to an area between the router and an area with
spotty Wi-Fi coverage. Once plugged in, the light should turn
solid white again within a few minutes.
You’re all set! Your devices will connect automatically with the
same Wi-Fi network name and password as your Fios Home
Router.
Note: The Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender has a Wi-Fi Name/Password
that is dierent from the Fios Home Router. When the Extender
connects to the router via Coax, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi, the extender is
assigned the Wi-Fi Name/Password of the Router. At this time, the
extender doesn’t have the ability to use the Wi-Fi Name/Password
on the rear lable and only uses the same Wi-Fi Name/Password as
the router.
