We recommend accepting the default values here, which will mirror your main network.
However, if you wish to change settings for the Extended Network, you can do so here.
The screen is arranged in two columns, one for your 2.4GHz Extended Network and the
second for the 5GHz Extended Network.
For each network, you may configure the following:
Network Name (SSID)
Broadcast SSID
Protected Mode
This is the name of your extended Wi-Fi Range
Extender as it will show up when you try to connect to
it from a laptop, tablet, etc.
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by
advanced users only. For security, you can choose not
to broadcast your extended network's SSID. Doing so
will keep your network name hidden from computers
that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks.
To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, remove the
check mark from the box next to "Broadcast SSID",
and then click "Apply Changes." The change is
immediate. Each wireless computer or device now
needs to be set to connect to your specific SSID. Refer
to the documentation of your computer, tablet, or other
device.
Protected mode ensures proper operation of draft
802.11n-compliant devices on your wireless network
when 802.11g or 802.11b devices are present or when
there is heavy 802.11g or 802.11b traffic in the
operating environment. Use protected mode if your
network consists of a mix of Belkin Double N+
