Ethernet 

(green) Using Ethernet cables (also called network

cables), this Ethernet port connects Ethernet network devices

to your wireless network.
The green light turns on when an Ethernet device is connected

and active on this port. The light flashes when the extender is

sending or receiving data over the Ethernet port.

How to install the range extender

1.  Insert the Setup CD into a computer that is connected to the network

router. You will need to be near the router or access point and have

access to a networked computer.

IMPORTANT

Set up the extender close to the computer and router to ensure a

strong wireless signal. You can move it to a different location later.

2.  When the Setup utility starts, read the license terms, then click Next. You

are prompted to plug your extender into an electrical outlet.

3.  Connect your extender to an AC power outlet. Your extender searches for

wireless networks. The list of networks is displayed.
