It features two external antennas due to which you’ll get dependable connectivity. On its interface you’ll also find the ethernet port.

These indicators reflect the actual working of the extender and connectivity status with the router as well as your devices. Lastly its simple wall plug design doesn’t take up extra space in your abode. 

Using Push N Connect Setup Method 

First of all make sure your host device which is the router is active and working well. Now just beside the router, find a vacant electrical outlet. Plug the N300 extender into it and press the power button towards ON. The extender will activate but won’t become ready for configuration immediately. Because it needs a few moments for finishing the booting process. So once the power LED turns stable you can follow the next step. 

Now on your router locate the Wifi protected setup button. Press it down. Now check if the WPS indicator is flashing or not. If it’s not then re-press the WPS key. Thereafter, locate the WPS button on the N300 range extender. Press it as well. Check the front panel indicator, it will start blinking green. Make sure you do not take more than 120 seconds to press the WPS button after activating the router’s WPS function. Finally, hold on for the synchronization process to end. Once it’s complete, you’ll notice that the WPS indicator of the router as well as the extender is now stable and green. With this the setup completes, all you have to do is reposition the extender for seamless connectivity throughout the abode. 

Reposition The N300 Extender 

Unplug the N300 extender and now plug it in an area which forms the middle point of the router and the wifi dead spot. The chosen spot must get not less than 50 percent signals from the router. Because effective communication between the router and the wifi signal repeater is the key for seamless and wider wifi coverage. For better connectivity, keep the extender in an open space that offers ventilation. Many users do not know that there are certain metal and electronic items that can create a ruckus with the extender’s working. So avoid the placement of the extender nearby to electrical and metal objects. Never plug the extender in a congested area like where there are too many walls or glass structures. 

Once you finalize the placement spot, repower the extender and review the LED indicators. All of them must be showcasing a green color. If the router link LED is red then you must push the N300 device near to the router. Keep moving it till you see the light shifting from red to green. Once the setup is done completely, fetch your smartphone. Pair it to the N300’s network. Move to the area where you were facing connectivity problems. Now test the connectivity. You’ll definitely be now receiving full wireless coverage and lightning fast speeds.
