Open the extender’s web based GUI.
You would see the network settings for both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.
You can chance extended network name, security encryption and password (for both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands).
Then Apply/Save the settings.
After 2-3 minutes connect your devices again to the new extended network.
For new Belkin Extender.
Just press the WPS on your router/modem first for 1-2 seconds, then press the WPS on Belkin Extender for 3-5 seconds.
Now wait for 2 minutes.
The difference in light color and pattern will confirm its connection.
For Used/ old Belkin Extender : If its an used Belkin Extender then first reset it using a paper clip to press the reset button in a tiny hole for 30 seconds.
Now its brand new, or by default one.
Wait for 2 minutes after reset then proceed further as setup New Belkin Extender.
Its now extending your home network with same password as of your home wifi.
Note:
1. During setup, make sure that the Belkin Extender is placed within 7-10 feet from Router, at the time of setup, or in the same room.
2. Two minutes patience is the Critical Time that make the difference between success and failure in Setup.
