The easiest and most secure way to connect your Wireless Range Extender to your the router or access point is WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). Please refer to your user manual for information on your router or access point make sure you understand how to enable WPS. Once you know, follow the steps below:
Step 1 - Plug the Wireless Range Extender into a wall outlet and verify if the power LED has turned from red to a blinking amber. Step 2 - Press the WPS button on your AP/Router. Note: Usually the WPS LED will blink once it is pressed. Check your routers manual for more information. Step 3 - Press and hold the WPS button until the light starts blinking green and then release. Please allow up to two minutes for the WPS process to finish. Once the connection is successful the LED will be solid green. Step 4 - Your AP/Router and Wireless Range Extender will be connected when the LED light turns solid green. Note: If connection fails, try moving your Wireless Range Extender closer to your wireless router/access point and repeat steps 2 and 3. 2 Step 5 - To connect your wireless clients to the Wireless Range Extender, use the Wi-Fi Network SSID and the Wi-Fi Password located on your configuration note. You may also use WPS to connect your clients to the Wireless Range Extender. 3 HARDWARE INSTALLATION LED The figure below shows the rear panel of the IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Range Extender. Rear Panel 4 INTERNET There is an RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX port for the WAN that connects to the xDSL/Cable modem for Internet connectivity.

Auto 20/40 - This is the default setting. Select if you are using both 802.11n and non-802.11n wireless devices. 20MHz - Select if you are not using any 802.11n wireless clients. Security Mode: Select WEP or WPA Personal. Advance These settings are advanced options that can be configured to change advanced wireless broadcast specifications. It is recommended that these settings remain set to their default values unless you are knowledgeable about the effects of changing these values. Changing these settings incorrectly can degrade performance. 7 Beacon Interval A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks that transmitted periodically to announce the presence and provide information about the routers wireless network. The interval is the amount time between each beacon transmission. Default Value:100 milliseconds (range: 25-1000) RTS Threshold The Request To Send (RTS) function is part of the networking protocol. A wireless device that needs to send data will send a RTS before sending the data in question. The destination wireless device will send a response called Clear to Send (CTS). The RTS Threshold defines the smallest data packet size allowed to initiate the RTS/CTS function. Default Value: 2346 (range: 256-2346) DTIM Interval A Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is an informational message that is sent as part of a beacon by an access point (your wireless router) to a wireless client (wireless device or connecting station) in sleep mode to provide an alert that data is awaiting delivery. The DTIM Interval (also called Data Beacon Rate) is the amount of time between DTIM transmissions included in part of a beacon. Default Value: 1 (range: 1-255) Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) If your wireless device has WPS PIN (typically an 8-digit code printed on the wireless device product label or located in the wireless device wireless software utility), you can use this method. WPS: Enable or Disable the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) function Status: Display the state (Un-configured State/Configured State) information of WPS.
