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 extender’s WiFi network name (SSID) and enter your extender’s
WiFi password.
This is the SSID and password that you set up during the installation process. If you
enabled the One WiFi Name feature, use your router’s SSID and password.
