Universal Dual Band WiFi Extender – Desktop/Wallplug
Extender Performance
The Link Rate LEDs indicate the performance of the
2.4 GHz or
5 GHz wireless connection
from the extender to a router.
•
The best performance is delivered when the Link Rate LED is green.
•
A workable performance is delivered when the Link Rate LED is amber.
•
A red Link Rate LED indicates a poor connection or no connection between the extender
and the router.
•
Make sure that your
Wireless Device to Extender LED is green before you check the
Link Rate LED for performance.
To improve extender performance:
1
Move the extender closer to the router or to a different location with a better line of sight.
2
As you move the extender, check the Link Rate and the Wireless Device to Extender LEDs
on the extender until you find a good location. These LEDs should remain solid green.
