Chapter 3: Getting to Know the Wireless-G Range Expander
The Front Panel
The Range Expander's LEDs, where information about network activity is displayed, are located on the front 
panel. In addition, the Range Expander’s antenna is adjustable and located on the front panel. Make sure the 
antenna is positioned straight up into the air, however the Range Expander is positioned.
LINK
Blue/Red. The LINK LED lights up when the Range Expander is powered on. This light will 
appear blue when the Range Expander has connected to a functioning access point or 
wireless router. When there is no access point or wireless router with which to connect, this 
light will appear red.
ACTIVITY
Blue. The ACTIVITY LED lights whenever there is a successful wireless connection and will 
flash when there is wireless network activity.
The Side Panel
On the Range Expander's side panel, you will find the Reset and Auto configuration buttons.
Auto configuration
The Auto configuration button can be used to easily connect the Range Expander to the 
nearest wireless network, via an access point or wireless router. Simply connect the power 
and press the Auto configuration button. Your wireless network must have WEP disabled 
for this feature to function.
 
Important: Resetting the Range Expander will 
erase all of your settings (WEP Encryption and 
Wireless settings, etc.) and replace them with the 
factory defaults. Do not reset the Range Expander 
if you want to retain these settings.
