Preparing your Amped wireless for setup

Extenders work by receiving the wireless signals and transmitting them further to greater distances by means of amplifying. You will therefore need to plug your extender where it can receive a sufficient amount of signals(at least 70%) of the main router.

You can take help from your smartphone to check the signal strength at the location you’re looking to install your extender in. It’s an important aspect to ensure seamless internet coverage at all times. Once you have decided on the location you wish to install your Amped wireless device in, you can proceed with the following steps:

Unpack your Amped wireless extender and attach the antennas to the device. Attach the power cords and plug them into the power outlet. Try to place the outlet in the same room as the main router device.
The power supply should be turned on and then wait for the power light on the extender to go into solid. Also, check if the router and the MODEM device at your home are powered on and functioning well.
Once you find everything’s in order, connect your computer/wireless device to the Amped wireless extender’s local network. You can either use a wired connection between devices or connect them wirelessly.
For a wired connection, use an ethernet cable b/w extender and computer. Whereas, you can connect to the extender’s local network manually using the WiFi network. Enable WiFi on your device and then select the extender’s SSID from the list of the networks visible on the screen.

Once your computer/wireless device is connected to the extender’s network, you can proceed with the login process.
