on page 5).
2. Click the Wireless tab. Click the Site Survey page.
3. Select—To connect to a wireless network, click the button next to the wireless
network name (SSID) in the Select column, and click Connect.
4. SSID—Displays the name of neighboring wireless networks.
5. GHz—Displays the radio band (in GHz) of the neighboring wireless networks
6. Signal Strength—Displays the relative position of the neighboring access points
by indicating the power of the wireless signal received: 1 bar= 20%,2 bars=40%, 3
bars=60%, 4 bars=80%, 5 bars=100%. If no bar is displayed, the extender is located
too far away from the upstream access point. Try to keep the signal strength
between 60% and 100% for optimum performance.
7. Security—Displays the mode of security in use by the neighboring APs. If a network
supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup, the Wi-Fi Protected Setup icon is also displayed.
