How do I check if I have a connection with my range extender?

In this FAQ we will assume that you have configured the range extender. Is this not the case? Click here for more info about the installation. 

You have installed your range extender, and now you want to know whether the connection has been established. 

Windows 

For Windows, perform the following steps to check the connection. 

1.    Go to the icon in the bottom right corner of your screen, marked blue below. 

2.    Left-click it once. 
3.    The following window (list) will now open.

This window shows all the wireless networks found by your device. 

4. To see if your device is connected to the range extender’s network compare what you see on the screen with the sticker of the WL-300. You can find the network name of the WL-330 range extender on a sticker on the bottom of the product.

Please note! If you changed your range extender's network name in the settings menu in the past, you naturally need to look for that name.

Please note! If your range extender's network name does not appear in the list of available networks, refresh the list by clicking the appropriate button (marked in the picture).

If your device is not connected to the range extender’s network, double-click the network name to establish a connection. 

You almost always need to enter a network security key if you want to make a connection. This is the same password you use to connect to your router (or modem router).
