2. The Extender will reset to factory default settings and turn back on again.
To reset your Extender from the Admin website:
1. Go to Administration > Backup and Restore.

Both of these options will erase all the settings on your Wi-Fi Extender. Devices connected to your
extended network may become disconnected.
Note: Before resetting your Extender, you may want to back up your settings, so you can restore them
later.
1. From the Admin website, go to Administration > Backup and Restore.
2. Click Back up and follow the instructions to save a backup file to your computer.
3. Reset your Extender following the steps above.
4. When you’re ready to restore your settings, come back to Administration > Backup and Restore.
5. Click Restore Settings to restore the Wi-Fi Extender backup settings from the file on your computer.
Q5. Why can’t I connect my Wi-Fi Extender to my router using WPS?
Your VRE3000 Wi-Fi Extender is designed to work with routers that have the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band (Band-1:
5150MHz ~ 5250MHz). Before you begin, make sure that your Wi-Fi router has this band. One way to
check is to see if its network name (SSID) ends with “-5g”. (Check your router’s user guide, if you’re not
sure.)
