LEDs, buttons and ports

The Power LED is flashing. Is that normal?

Yes. A flashing blue Power LED means the repeater is starting up, applying new settings or rebooting. Wait until it turns solid blue (about 30–60 seconds). If it never stops flashing, try a factory reset using the Reset pinhole.

Warning: Never use the repeater with a travel adapter, a multi-socket extension lead rated below 100–240 V, or a damaged socket. Using a non-compliant power source is dangerous and voids the warranty.

What do the LED colours mean?

The repeater has three LEDs on the front face:

• Power — Solid blue: powered and running normally. Flashing blue: starting up or applying settings. Off: no power.
• Wi-Fi — Solid blue: connected to your router and signal is good. Solid red: connected but signal too weak, or not connected to any host network. Off: the Wi-Fi radio is disabled.
• WPS — Flashing blue: WPS pairing in progress (2-minute window). Solid blue: WPS pairing succeeded. Off: no WPS session.

Tips: All three LEDs can be switched off from the Web UI (Advanced Settings > System > LED Control) without affecting the repeater's operation — useful in a bedroom.

The Wi-Fi LED is red. What should I do?

A red Wi-Fi LED means the signal the repeater receives from your router is too weak. Move the repeater closer to the router — one socket at a time — and wait about 30 seconds after each move. The LED turns blue when the placement is good. As a rule of thumb, the repeater should be roughly halfway between your router and the dead zone, with a clear line of sight to the router if possible.

The LEDs disturb me at night. Can I turn them off?

Yes. Log in to the Web UI and go to Advanced Settings > System > LED Control. Disable the LEDs and click Apply. The repeater continues to operate normally — only the lights are off.

Tips: You can re-enable the LEDs at any time from the same page. If you need to check the status while LEDs are off, log in to the Web UI and go to System Status.
