What if I forgot my Range Extender’s Admin password or want to reset my Range Extender?

  1. If you forgot your Admin password or want to reset your Range Extender back to the factory default settings, press and hold the reset button on the bottom of the extender using a paper clip and release after the Status light turns red.Note: This process will erase all your settings.
  2. Setup your Range Extender using your preferred method.

How do I setup my Range Extender using WPS?

IMPORTANTWPS may be disabled on some Routers or Modems. If the WPS Status LED on your Router or Modem does not start blinking when you have pressed the WPS button, try again and hold it a little longer. If it still does not blink, STOP, and configure your Range Extender using theD-Link Wi-Fi App Setup.

  1. Plug your Range Extender into an available outlet near your wireless router and wait until the Status LED is blinking amber (this may take up to 3 minutes). You can move it to a more suitable location after it is set up. If the status LED does not light up, ensure the power toggle switch underneath is in the “on” position.
  2. Press the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button on your wireless router for 3 seconds. An LED should start blinking on your router. If it does not blink, see the important note above.
  3. Once confirmed that the WPS light is blinking on your router, within one minute, press the WPS button on your Range Extender for 2-3 seconds. The Status LED should start to blink green.
  4. When the Status LED turns solid green (may take up to 3 minutes), this indicates that your Range Extender is securely connected to your wireless router.

Your setup is complete! You can now unplug and move your Range Extender to a location between your Wireless Router and the area where you want wireless coverage. By default, your Range Extender will share the same Wi-Fi name and password as your Router. When using WPS setup, the default Admin Password is “password”.If after moving your Range Extender, the signal strength indicator is showing one single amber bar or if your Range Extender LED does not turn solid green within 3 minutes, move your Range Extender to a wall outlet closer to your wireless router.
