The Config key is not found on the housing of some of our HyFi extenders, as shown in the figure below:

The following describes how to pair a HyFi extender and a HyFi router without a Config key.

Type 1: wall plugHyFiVro pairing

1. Power on the HyFi router and the expansion device at the same time (preferably in the same plug-in or nearby location), as shown in the figure below:

Note:: The indicator is in a transient state after the expansion device is powered on.

2. Wait for 15 seconds and then click the Config button of the vro. The indicator of the vro will flash fast.

3. In about 30 seconds, the extended indicator is always on, indicating that the pairing is successful.

After successful pairing, you can unplug the vro and expansion device and plug them in the appropriate power outlet. After the router connects to the Internet, the extended machine can automatically access the Internet.

If multiple expansion devices need to be paired with the vro, you only need to power the vro and all the expansion devices at the same time, click the Config key of the vro, wait 30 seconds, all the expansion devices will always be on, that is, the pairing is successful. You can pair multiple extenders at a time.

There are many types of our HyFi routers and extenders, and the registration methods for different HyFi products may be different. For details, refer to: HyFi product registration method.

Note:: [1] After HyFi is powered on, you need to wait about 15 seconds before starting the registration operation.

[2] If the extended indicator is flashing and the router indicator is always on, click the Config button of the router.

[3] for a desktop-type HyFi router, you must enter the vro management interface to add an extender.

HyFi routers and extenders can be registered successfully only under the same electric meter. Do not use cross-Air switch or three-phase electricity whenever possible. If the power line quality is poor, there are high-power electrical appliances in the line, or the power line is too long, the registration may fail.

We recommend that you set the router and expansion devicePlace on the same plug-in or adjacent outletRegister, and then move the extensioner to the desired location.

If you follow the above steps, you still cannot register successfully. We recommend that you restore the factory settings of both the HyFi router and the expansion device.

Reset method: when the power is on, use a tip such as a pen tip to hold down the Reset hole for about 10 seconds
