Installation of your Pulse device(s)
This installation guide is for installing the Pulse EX600 as a router, as
explained on the right. In addition, an extra Pulse EX600 can be installed as

Router
If you do not have a router installed, start installing your Pulse EX600 here:

- Connect a network cable between your broadband outlet and the Pulse EX600 WAN port (red port).
- Plug the power adapter into an electrical socket and connect it to the power port at the back of the Pulse EX600.
- Flip the ON/OFF switch at the back of the device to turn it on.
- Wait until the Status LED stops blinking and turns solid green. Your Pulse EX600 is now setup as a router. Your network is now ready to be extended with a wireless or wired extender, as explained on the next pages.
Extender placement
For optimal performance of the Pulse EX600 as extender; place the Pulse EX600
halfway in between your router and the problem area (as shown below). Make
sure placement is within WiFi range of your router. If the extender is placed
too far away, it cannot connect to the router.
