Connect a Device to the Extender Network

After you complete the setup process, you can connect all your devices to the new extender network using
a WiFi, wired, or WPS connection.

Connect a Device to the Extender Network Using WiFi

If you enabled the One WiFi Name feature, your extender uses the same WiFi network name and password
as your router.
The following is an example of what your WiFi network names might look like if One WiFi Name is enabled:
• Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• Router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• Extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• Extended 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
If you set up your extender using WPS, your extender uses the same WiFi network settings as your router
for its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz extended networks.
For example, if your extender connects to the router's 2.4 GHz WiFi band, your extender uses your router's
2.4 GHz WiFi settings for both its networks:
• Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• Router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• Extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• Extended 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
If your extender connects to the router's 5 GHz WiFi band, your extender uses your router's 5 GHz WiFi
settings for both its networks:
• Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• Router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• Extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• Extended 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
Since your router and extended networks share the same WiFi network name, only one WiFi network name
is broadcast.
