The extender creates two new extender WiFi networks. The extender's new WiFi network names are based on your existing WiFi network name, with _2GEXT and _5GEXT at the end of the name. For example: • Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName • New extender WiFi network names. MyNetworkName_2GEXT and MyNetworkName_5GEXT Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router. 9. Test the new extended WiFi range by moving your client device to the area with a poor router WiFi signal: a. Leave your client device in the area with a poor router WiFi signal and return to the extender. b. Check the Client Link LED on the extender: • If the Client Link LED is solid green or amber, your new extender WiFi network reaches the area with a poor router WiFi signal and your network setup is complete. • If the Client Link LED is red, your new extender WiFi network does not reach the area with a poor router WiFi signal. You must move your client device closer to the extender until the Client Link LED turns solid green or amber. 8
