SETTING UP YOUR
FIOS HOME WIFI EXTENDER
./ SETTING UP YOUR FIOS HOME WIFI EXTENDER
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.

that is dierent from the Fios Home Router. When the Extender
connects to the router via Coax, Ethernet, or Wireless, 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/Passord as the router. At a future date, this feature will
