Enable Universal Repeater Mode: 

enable the repeater mode and search for wireless 

networks in range on all the supported channels while device is operating in Access Point. 

5.2.2 Security Settings

You can setup wireless security in this page. Setup different encryptions for different SSIDs 
so that makes your wireless network more secure. It is very practical for protecting your 
private information.

5.2.3 Site Survey

Utility will search for wireless networks in range on all the supported channels while device 
is operating in Access Point mode. This page provides a tool to scan the wireless network. 
If any Access Point or IBSS is found, you could choose to connect it manually when client 
mode is enabled.

Note:

Since WEP has been proved vulnerable, you may consider using WPA2 for the most secure 

connection. You should select the appropriate security mechanism according to your needs. No 

matter which security suite you select, they all will enhance the over-the-air data protection and/or 

privacy on your wireless network.
