1. If your router has a Wi-Fi Protected Setup button, press it then press the WPS button at the side panel of your range extender.
2. When the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ process is active, the light flashes slowly every two (2) seconds for two (2) minutes. 3.When the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ is successful, the light stays continuously lit. If there is an error, the light flashes sporadically for two (2) minutes. Wait until the light stops flashing before trying again.
NOTE:The Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ configures one (1) device at a time. The device you want to connect through Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ must also support WPS. Check your device’s documentation to verify.
1.Plug your Range Extender into a power outlet near your main Router/AP.
2.Push the WPS button on your main Router/AP first, then immediately push the WPS button on your Range Extender.
Note1: After you have pushed WPS button of your Router/AP, you need to push WPS button of your Range Extender within 2 minutes. So we strongly suggest you should push WPS button of your RE product as soon as you have pushed WPS button of your router.
Note2: After pushing the WPS button of your Router/AP, your Router/AP’s WPS LED should blink. If your Router/AP’ WPS LED doesn’t blink, it means you need to push the WPS button again until the WPS LED of your Router/AP blinks. The same reason is also suitable for RE product. After pushing the WPS button of your Range Extender, the WPS/RE light of your Range Extender should blink. If not, push again.
Below is the WPS LED of TL-WA850RE and RE200:
3.The WPS process will last 2 minutes. You can wait 2 minutes, and then check the wireless signal LED of your Range Extender. If it’s on (no matter what color it is or how many signal bars there are), then your Range Extender has been successfully connected to your main Router/AP.
4.After 2 minutes, if the wireless signal LED of your Range Extender is still off, it means the WPS process fails. You may need to try one more or several more times of WPS operation, and repeat the steps above.
5.At last, you can put your Range Extender in a proper place where you want to extend the wireless network’s coverage, and enjoy the extended wireless network. No need to repeat the process. Once it’s done, it will connect automatically every time you plug it back in.
