There are 2 ways to connect your Extender to your router:

automatically to your home router’s Wi-Fi network. This will ensure a seamless transition when your

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.

• http://verizonre (Windows and Android)
• http://verizonre.local (Mac OS X or iOS)
• Or try http://192.168.0.250
