Use the default extension names, or, in the
Name (2.4GHz SSID)

up a 5 GHz network, in the

field, enter new network names for your
extender WiFi networks, and click the
Continue
button.
Note:
If you do not want to use the same security modes for your extender
networks as you use for your existing networks, clear the check box
before you click the

security settings for the extender networks. However, you can also
change the security settings later.
