Connect the devices as you usually do in a network topology. Use an ethernet cable to connect the main router to the range extender.
Plug in the power cords and connect their other end to the wall outlet. Now, power them on.
Once the devices are powered on, wait for the LEDs on the front panel to light up solid. Once they do, you can continue with the rest of the process.
