Connect a device to the extender network using WiFi
If you enabled the One WiFi Name feature, your extender uses the same WiFi network
name and password as your router. The following is an example of what your WiFi
network names might look like if One WiFi Name is enabled:
•
Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
•
Router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
•
Extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
•
Extended 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
If you set up your extender using WPS, your extender uses the same WiFi network
settings as your router for its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz extended networks. For example, if
your extender connects to the router’s 2.4 GHz WiFi band, your extender uses your
router’s 2.4 GHz WiFi settings for both its networks:
•
Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
•
Router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
•
Extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
•
Extended 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
If your extender connects to the router’s 5 GHz WiFi band, your extender uses your
router’s 5 GHz WiFi settings for both its networks:
•
Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
•
Router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
•
Extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
•
Extended 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
Since your router and extended networks share the same WiFi network name, only one
WiFi network name is broadcast.
To connect to the extender WiFi network:
1. On your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device, open the WiFi connection
manager that manages your WiFi connections.
The WiFi connection manager scans for WiFi networks in your area.
2. Find and select your WiFi network name (SSID) and enter your WiFi password.
This is the SSID and password that you set up during the installation process.
