How To Setup The WiFi Extender

The EX7000 WiFi Extender is extremely easy to setup. Especially if you have the R7000 router, or a router that has a WPS button.

1. Plug the WiFi extender into power and wait for it to boot up.
2. Press the WPS button on the WiFi extender.
3. Press the WPS button on your router.
4. Move the WiFi extender to an area of your house with poor connection.

These instructions should work with most routers that have a WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) button.
