I-3. LED Status All LEDs are disabled in sleep mode. The best signal strength is 60 – 80% since above 80% is likely too close to your router for the extender to be effective. LED Color Signal 5GHz Blue Status Description Excellent location. On Signal strength: 60 – 80% Good location. Slow Flashing Signal strength: 40 – 60% & 80 - 100% Poor location.

I-4. Switch The RE11S includes a hardware switch on the underside of the device which can switch between normal, green mode and sleep mode as shown in the table below. “Wi-Fi power” refers to the strength of the extender’s wireless radio signal (Tx). If you are using the extender in a small or medium sized space, you may not need the full power of the wireless radio. Try it, and determine if you still have sufficient Wi-Fi coverage using green mode. If so, you can save some energy.
II. Add Your RE11S To Your Network Adding your RE11S extender to your network is easy with the WPS button. New extenders automatically follow the Wi-Fi settings of the master RE11S linked to your router. If you don’t already have a master extender set up, follow the next chapter III. Master Installation and install a master instead. 1. Press the WPS button on your master extender for 3 seconds. 2.
III. Master Installation RE11S extenders support roaming. This means with two or more roaming devices set up, your Wi-Fi devices (smartphones, tablets etc.) will automatically connect to the best available Wi-Fi signal as you move around. You only need to setup one extender to join your existing Wi-Fi network. This acts a master extender. Then, additional extenders can be added simply using the WPS button. These extenders act as slaves and automatically follow the Wi-Fi settings of the master.
Extender Mode Each RE11S can function in one of three modes. To use roaming, setup your master extender in Wi-Fi Extender or Wi-Fi Access Point mode. Please ensure your router’s DHCP server is enabled. For most routers this is enabled by default. If your DHCP server is disabled, you will need to assign an IP address to your extenders. Refer to the user manual for more help. Additional (slave) extenders will automatically be set to Wi-Fi Extender mode via the WPS button.
III-1. Access Point Mode The device connects to an existing router via Ethernet cable and provides wireless Internet access for your network devices. 1. Connect the network port of your RE11S to the LAN port of your existing router using an Ethernet cable. 2. Plug the RE11S into a power socket. 3. The green power LED will flash while the extender is starting up. The device is ready when the green power LED displays on.
