Preparing to use the WX3100
① Attach the bracket to the bottom of the WX3100 as shown.
② Consider where you want to place the WX3100 to extend your wireless
network. The extender needs to be placed close to, but not in the Wi-Fi
blackspot, as it still needs to connect to the router to create the mesh
network. This way it also maximises the coverage available.
There are two ways to set up your extender.
