Setting Up the Wi-Fi Extender
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. (Check your
router’s user guide, if you’re not sure.)
Step 1. Position your Wi-Fi Extender and Connected Device
Place your Wi-Fi Extender near your home Wi-Fi router. This will ensure that it’s close enough to connect
to the router’s Wi-Fi network. (If you plan on connecting with WPS, place the Extender so that you can
reach both devices easily.)
You’ll also want the computer (or tablet) that you’ll be using during setup nearby as well. It will need to
connect to your Extender’s Wi-Fi network during setup, or be close enough to be connected with an
Ethernet cable.
Step 2. Plug in your Wi-Fi Extender
Now that your Extender is in position, connect the DC power adapter to the DC power port on the
Extender. Then plug it into an electrical outlet. The power indicator on the Extender will blink while it
starts up. When it’s solid blue it’s ready to proceed.
