Setting Up the Wi-Fi Extender
Your VRE3000 Wi-Fi Extender is designed to work with routers that have the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band (Band-1:
5150MHz ~ 5250MHz). Before you begin, make sure that your Wi-Fi router has this band. (Check your
router’s user guide, if you’re not sure.)
Step 1. Position your Wi-Fi Extender and Connected Device
Place your Wi-Fi Extender near your home Wi-Fi router. This will ensure that it’s close enough to connect
to the router’s Wi-Fi network. (If you plan on connecting with WPS, place the Extender so that you can
reach both devices easily.)
You’ll also want the computer (or tablet) that you’ll be using during setup nearby as well. It will need to
connect to your Extender’s Wi-Fi network during setup, or be close enough to be connected with an
Ethernet cable.
Step 2. Plug in your Wi-Fi Extender
Now that your Extender is in position, connect the DC power adapter to the DC power port on the
Extender. Then plug it into an electrical outlet. The power indicator on the Extender will blink while it
starts up. When it’s solid blue it’s ready to proceed.

3 Getting Started
Note: If you have used this Extender before and want to start fresh, press and hold the reset button for 10
seconds to restore the Extender to its factory default settings. During reset, the Extender will turn off and
on again. Wait until the power indicator stops blinking and turns solid blue before moving to step 3.
Step 3. Connect your Wi-Fi Extender to your router
There are 2 ways to connect your Extender to your router:
Use a Wi-Fi-connected computer or tablet (Recommended)
Use a computer connected to the Extender with an Ethernet cable
Use a Wi-Fi-connected computer or tablet
Note: Before you begin, you may want to make sure that your computer or tablet is set to connect
automatically to your home router’s Wi-Fi network. This will ensure a seamless transition when your
Extender begins extending your home Wi-Fi network.
1. Go to your computer or tablet’s list of available Wi-Fi networks and connect to your Extender’s
Wi-Fi network (SSID): Verizon Extender Setup – XXXX.
Note: The XXXX is last four characters of the Extender’s MAC address. You can find your Extender’s full
Default Network Name on the sticker on the bottom of your Extender.
2. On your connected device, open a web browser and enter:
http://verizonre (Windows and Android)
http://verizonre.local (Mac OS X or iOS)
Or try http://192.168.0.250
3. The browser will show the Extender’s Setup Wizard. Follow the onscreen steps to complete setup.

3 Getting Started
Use a computer connected to the Extender with an Ethernet cable
You can also connect your computer to one of the Extender’s two Ethernet ports with an Ethernet cable.
Once you’ve connected your computer, open a web browser and enter:
http://verizonre (Windows and Android)
http://verizonre.local (Mac OS X or iOS)
Or try http://192.168.0.250.
The browser will show the Extender’s Setup Wizard. Follow the onscreen steps to complete setup.
Step 4. Find the Best Location for Your Wi-Fi Extender with the Extender Placement
Tool
Now that your Extender is connected to your router’s Wi-Fi network, you can move it to increase the
range of your network. Your Extender’s Admin website has a tool to help you find the best location.
1. If you haven’t already, make sure the device you’ll use to visit the Admin website is connected to your
extended network.
2. If you’ve just completed the Setup Wizard, you can tap Admin Website on the Setup complete! screen
and sign in.
If not, open a web browser and go to one of the addresses below. (You’ll also find these URLs on the
label on the bottom of your Extender.) Then sign in.
http://verizonre (Windows and Android)
http://verizonre.local (Mac OS X or iOS)
Note: If you have trouble connecting to the Admin website, try this:
1. Disconnect the device from the extended network.
2. Move the device closer to the Wi-Fi Extender.
3. Reconnect to the network.
(See Q2. What can I do if I cannot access the Extender’s Admin website? in the Troubleshooting section for more
information.)
For security, it’s recommended that you change your Admin password at this point.
3. After you’ve signed in, you’ll see the Admin website’s Dashboard. The Extender placement card on the
Dashboard will tell you if your Extender is too close, too far, or perfectly placed. Click the > on the card
for more information.
