Parameter 

Description 

Encryption 

Set to WPA‐PSK. The other options provide weaker security for your wireless 
network and are only recommended if you have equipment that can’t connect 
to WPA2‐secured wireless networks. 

Cipher 

Set to “auto”. 

Key 

Type in the password for the wireless network. You can, but don’t have to, use 
the same wireless password that the wireless network uses, of which you 
want to extend the range. 

 

Click 

  to create the new wireless network. 

 
Verify the wireless setup on the wireless overview screen. It should be looking like this: 
 

 

SSID “WirelessRouter”, Mode “Client”: 
This is the wireless connection to the wireless network, of which you want to extend the range. 
 
SSID “RepeaterWireless”, Mode “Master” 
This is the wireless network for Wi‐Fi clients. Wi‐Fi clients can connect to this network, and then 
communicate with the wireless router network via the bridge connection (mode ‘client). 
 
Next, open the Network ‐> Interfaces screen.
