Tips:

  • If your host router does not support a 5GHz wireless network, please click Skip to continue.
  • During the configuration of the range extender, if you cannot find your host Wi-Fi network, refer here to do troubleshooting

4. Either keep the default SSIDs (network names) or customize them for the extended networks, and then click Next.
