Troubleshooting 

 

1.

 

In range extender mode, is my BR-6208ACD dual-band? 

a.

 

Yes. The BR-6208ACD can extend 2.4GHz & 5GHz Wi-Fi signals concurrently, but 
you must connect your BR-6208ACD to each (2.4GHz & 5GHz) network 
separately during iQ setup. During iQ Setup, you will be asked to select both a 
2.4GHz & 5GHz Wi-Fi network to extend, as well as specify a new SSID (name) 
and password for each of the networks that your BR-6208ACD’s will 
broadcast/extend. 

 

You can disable either 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi during iQ setup if 
there is no appropriate source network available, or if you do not 
wish to use it. If either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency band is 
disabled, wireless clients/devices on the same frequency band will 
be unable to connect to your range extender. 

 

2.

 

In range extender mode, if my BR-6208ACD is set up as a 
dual-band extender, what happens when I connect a wired 
Ethernet client? 

a.

 

When you connect a network device to your BR-6208ACD in range extender 
mode via Ethernet cable, by default the network device will connect to the 5GHz 
network. If there is no 5GHz network available, the network device will connect 
to the 2.4GHz network instead. 

 
3.

 

In range extender mode, how do I connect to a network which 

has a hidden SSID? 

a.

 

During iQ Setup, you can manually enter a SSID in the “Wi-Fi network name” 
field as shown below, for either/both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, along with the relevant 
encryption information.
