AC750 WiFi Range Extender
extender uses 40 MHz mode unless a nearby WiFi network is using 40 MHz mode. If
that happens, the extender uses 20 MHz mode to coexist with that network.
• Enable W
ireless Access Point (5 GHz). When this check box is selected, the
extender allows WiFi connections in the 5 GHz band. Clearing this check box
prevents wireless devices from connecting to the extender in the 5 GHz band. LAN
devices can still connect to the extender over an Ethernet cable.
• Enable SSID Broadcast (5 GHz). When this check box is selected, the extender
broadcasts its wireless network name (SSID) for the 5 GHz band. Clearing this check
box hides the extender
’s 5 GHz network name. In such a situation, this network name
does not display in a WiFi network manager. A user who wants to join this hidden
network must know its network name.
