Rebooting Extender Network

Remove the extension cord from the outlet. Unplug the extender for 15-30 seconds. It will then shut down completely. Reconnect the device to the outlet.

Wait a few moments for the extender's power to come back on, re-establish a connection with your router main and broadcast its expanded network. You will typically see the indicators lights cycle, and then return to their normal state.
