4. Now, you are ready to an additional X5 to the network. Locate your second X5
approximately 5-15m from your gateway; if you have line-of-sight, they can be further
apart, but move closer if there are thick walls between.
5. Pair the units: Push the WPS button on the first X5, then push the WPS button on the
second X5.
Note:
When adding additional X5 units, always push the button on the first X5
and then push the WPS button on the X5 you are adding.
The second X5 will be automatically configured with the same Wi-Fi settings as the first
X5; this will take a few moments. The LED on the second X5 flashes green quickly when
the two units pair successfully.
When configuration is complete, the LED on the second X5 will change color to indicate
the quality of the link between the first and the second X5. See
(page 3) in this guide to understand the state the LED color indicates.
