• 2.4 GHz setting copy succeeded: Signal indicator shows specific pattern.
• 5 GHz setting copy succeeded: Signal indicator shows specific pattern.
• 2.4 GHz/5 GHz setting copy failed: Signal indicator shows specific pattern.
5. If needed, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other frequency band.
6. After successful copying for both bands, indicators will show a final state, and the product will operate normally after three seconds.
