Adding Boosters

Been there done that.....was frustrating to use and a disappointment. 

The APP does not work on older iPads. 

The results on a newer iPad vs a newer iPhone are different. 

The APP is not a clean and slick install. 

But no doubt the App simplifies it for Installers, Support and the Customer to all be on the same page.

I used the unpublished  WPS button option and worked well.

I learned:

Plug the target units in and do a factory reset. 

Firstly...Hold the WPS button down on the main unit that is ethernet wired....for 5 seconds.

Secondly....Hold the WPS button down on the TARGET (expander)  unit that is only plugged into power only (no ethernet)....for 5 seconds.

Let the process work for 5 - 10 minutes. 

Try a few times and it will work.  When you see the blinking blue light, then solid blue, the back to RED......just walk away and come back....likely it will be the solid blue as it should be. 

The starter units that have identical Wifi Network and Password info.......only one worked. So the other one is a spare to me or I will sell it off. 

You may have to wait quite awhile before the status of the booster shows on the APP. 

I now have 5 boosters. 

What did it do for me:

Better speeds while in there range.....family room doubled. I am on 75 speed but they gave me 150 and no extra cost**

So the family room went from 30 speed to 75 and up to 160. 

Some are free standing and some are on ethernet....the odd thing is the free standing basement one goes from yellow to red and there is a booster, one floor above and another 20 feet away on ethernet in the garage......I find that disappointing. And looks like I will have to set it up with ethernet too.   

Thanks for your help. 

** I wonder why...and I have a hunch.
