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.
