- Activate WPS on Extender: Within 2 minutes of pressing the WPS button on your router, press the WPS button on the Cyseed WiFi Extender. The WPS indicator light on the extender will blink.
- Connection Confirmation: Wait for the WPS indicator light on the extender to turn solid, indicating a successful connection. This may take up to 60 seconds.
- Relocate Extender: Once connected, unplug the extender and move it to a location halfway between your router and the area with poor WiFi signal. Ensure the signal indicator light shows a strong connection (e.g., blue or green, depending on the model's specific indicators).

- Configure Extender Network: You can choose to keep the same network name (SSID) as your main router or create a new one (e.g., "YourNetworkName_EXT").

- Relocate Extender: Once restarted, unplug the extender and move it to a location halfway between your router and the area with poor WiFi signal. Ensure the signal indicator light shows a strong connection.
Operating Instructions
Connecting Devices
After successful setup, your Cyseed WiFi Extender will broadcast an extended WiFi signal. You can connect your wireless devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, etc.) to this extended network just as you would to any other WiFi network. Look for the network name you configured during setup (e.g., "YourNetworkName_EXT" or your original network name if you chose to keep it).
Ethernet Port Usage
The extender is equipped with an Ethernet port (RJ45). This port can be used for two primary functions:
- Wired Connection: Connect a wired device (e.g., desktop computer, gaming console, smart TV) to the extender via an Ethernet cable for a stable, high-speed connection.
- Access Point Mode: If your extender supports Access Point (AP) mode, you can connect it to your main router via an Ethernet cable. In AP mode, the extender creates a new wireless network, converting a wired connection into a wireless one. Refer to the web browser setup for AP mode configuration if available.
LED Indicators
The front panel of the extender features LED indicators that provide information about its status:
- Power LED (ⓘ):
- Solid Blue: Device is powered on.
- Off: Device is powered off.
- WPS LED (ⓘ):
- Blinking Blue: WPS pairing in progress.
- Solid Blue: WPS pairing successful.
- Off: WPS not active or failed.
- Signal LED (ⓘ):
- Solid Blue: Good signal strength from the main router.
- Solid Red/Orange: Weak signal strength. Consider relocating the extender closer to the main router.
- Off: No signal or not connected to the main router.
Maintenance
- Firmware Updates: Periodically check the manufacturer's website (Cyseed Store) for available firmware updates. Updating firmware can improve performance, add new features, and fix bugs.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the extender. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols. Ensure the ventilation holes are free from dust to prevent overheating.
- Optimal Placement: For best performance, ensure the extender is placed in an open area, away from obstructions like large metal objects, concrete walls, and other electronic devices that may cause interference (e.g., microwaves, cordless phones).
- Restarting: If you experience connectivity issues, try unplugging the extender from the power outlet for 10 seconds and then plugging it back in. This can often resolve minor network glitches.
