How to use

Plug the EW-7438RPN Mini directly into a mains outlet near the area where you want to improve coverage. Use the smart iQ Setup via a web browser or press the WPS button on both the extender and your router for quick pairing. Alternatively, use the EdiRange smartphone app (iOS/Android) to view local Wi‑Fi analytics, configure the device mode (Extender, Access Point or Bridge), set up a guest network and schedule Wi‑Fi availability. Place the unit in a location indicated by the signal strength LED for optimal coverage.

Recommendations

For best results, position the extender midway between your router and the dead zone with uninterrupted line of sight where possible. Use the signal strength LED to find the optimal placement, and enable the guest network or schedule to manage access and power usage as needed.
