Note:
For more information about using WPS button on your host router, please refer to the router manufacturer’s user
guide.
2. Wait until the Signal LED changes to solid blue, which indicates that the WPS
connection is successful.
3. Enjoy! Connect to the extended network and enjoy the Internet. Both extended
networks share the same SSIDs (network names) and passwords as those of your
host networks.
Note:
• If the extender connects to a dual-band router but only the 2.4GHz or 5GHz LED is on, repeat Step 1 and 2 to
connect to the other band.
• If the WPS method fails, or if you want to customize the extended network name, refer to Method 1: Via a Web
Browser or Method 2: Via the TP-Link Tether App.
• Since the performance of the extended networks will be affected by the distance between the extender and the
host router, we highly recommend you to relocate your extender by referring to Position Your Extender.
2. 2. Position Your Extender
Please follow the instructions below to achieve optimal performance of the extender.
1. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet between your host router and the Wi-Fi
“dead“ zone. The location you choose must be within the range of your existing host
network.
2. Wait until the Signal LED is lit and solid blue. If it’s not, relocate it closer to the host
router to achieve better signal quality.
