How do I connect the Wi-Fi extender?

This guide walks you through how to connect your Nova Wi-Fi extender, whether using an Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to improve network coverage throughout your home.

Why it matters

Proper setup of your Wi-Fi extender ensures strong and stable internet connectivity across rooms, especially in larger homes or places with thick walls that may block signals.

Materials needed

  • Nova Wi-Fi extender
  • Power outlet
  • Ethernet cable (included in box)

Step 1: Connect with an Ethernet cable (optional)

  1. Plug the extender into a power outlet near your main Nova router.
  2. Use the Ethernet cable to connect the extender to one of the LAN ports on your router.
  3. Wait for the light on the extender to turn solid blue — this confirms the connection is active.

Step 2: Connect wirelessly (if not using cable)

  1. Plug the extender into a power outlet halfway between your router and the area with weak signal.
  2. Wait until the light starts blinking blue.
  3. Press the WPS button on your main Nova router.
  4. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the extender.
  5. Once the light on the extender turns solid blue, the wireless connection is complete.

Summary

You can connect your Nova extender using either a wired or wireless method. The LED light helps confirm that the connection was successful.

Next steps

  • Test the signal strength in rooms further away from the router.
  • Reposition the extender if needed for better performance.

Additional information

  • Make sure your main router supports WPS if you're connecting wirelessly.
