Setup Guide: Using a Verizon Router with a Fios Extender (Wired)
Wired Setup Instructions
- Connect the Verizon Router to a coax outlet. If the coax outlet is already in use, use the coax splitter included in the box.
- Connect the Fios Extender to a coax outlet, ideally in an area with spotty Wi-Fi coverage.
- Connect the power cords from the router and extender to an electrical outlet [power outlet].
- After 10 minutes, the light on the extender should turn solid white, indicating the connection is complete.
Note: If using Ethernet wiring, follow the same steps as above with an Ethernet cable instead of a coax cable.
Troubleshooting
Solid yellow light: Indicates no connection to the router.
Please check that both the Verizon Router and Fios Extender are using the same type of connection (coax or Ethernet).
