Understanding LED Light Indicators
Optimal signal connection. Extender is placed in the ideal spot between router and dead zone.
Signal is acceptable but weak. Move the extender closer to your main router for faster speeds.
No connection to router. Check if your router password changed or move extender closer to re-pair.
How to Factory Reset
If you change routers, change Wi-Fi passwords, or experience connectivity issues, reset your extender to factory defaults:
Factory Reset Instructions: Locate the pinhole labeled RESET on the side or bottom of the extender. While plugged into power, insert a paperclip into the pinhole for 8 to 10 seconds until all LED lights flash simultaneously. Release and wait 1 minute for the reboot sequence to finish.
