Scan for a Wireless Network
The Scan result will list all available 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz wireless
networks detected by the Range Extender – including each network
name (SSID), the operating channel, the type of security and the signal
strength.
If you are extending a dual band router, you will need to select the SSID
of your 2.4GHz network and the SSID of your 5.0GHz network.
The signal strength indicates the wireless connection between that
network and the Range Extender. It is important to choose networks
that are greater than 70%. A wireless network with a signal strength of less than 70% may create a poor
connection which results in slower throughput and frequent dropped connections.
If you fail to find any wireless networks, or your signal strength is below 70%, try moving the Range Extender
closer to the wireless network that you are trying to repeat and click SCAN again.
Once you have selected your wireless network(s), click
Next
to continue. If you are only connecting to one
network, simply select that 2.4 or 5.0GHz network and click Next to continue.
