Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ makes it easy to connect your extender to your network,
then connect other devices to your network through the extender.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup light activity
• When the Wi-Fi Protected Setup process is active, the light flashes slowly.
When the Wi-Fi Protected Setup is successful, the light is continuously lit.
• If there is an error, the light flashes quickly for two minutes; please wait
and try again.
• Wait until the light is continuously lit before starting the next Wi-Fi
Protected Setup session.
Connecting the extender to an existing access point
If your access point or router supports it, you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup
to connect the range extender to the access point or router. Choose from the
setup methods below to connect the extender.
NOTE
If you have an access point or a router that do not support Wi-Fi
Protected Setup, note the wireless settings, and then manually
configure the extender.

Use this method if your router or access point has a Wi-Fi Protected Setup
button.
1. Click or press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the extender.
2. Click the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the router’s Wi-Fi Protected
Setup screen (if available), OR press and hold the Wi-Fi Protected Setup

the Wi-Fi Protected Setup light on the extender is continuously lit.

screen within two minutes.
Connecting with the range extender’s PIN
The Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN (Personal Identification Number) can be found
