How to use Site Survey

Site Survey gives a snapshot of all neighboring access points and wireless
routers within range of the extender.
To open the Site Survey page:
1. Log in to the browser-based utility (see "How to access the browser-
based utility" on page 4).
2. Click the Wireless tab. Click the Site Survey page.
Select— To connect to a wireless network, click the button next to the
wireless network name (SSID) in the Select column, and click Connect.
SSID— Displays the name of neighboring wireless networks.
GHz— Displays the radio band (in GHz) of the neighboring wireless
networks.
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.
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.
To connect your extender with an access point or router in Site Survey,
you will need to know the password or passphrase of the network on
that device.
1. Select the network name (SSID) that you want to repeat with your
extender by clicking the corresponding button in the Select column.
2. Click Connect. When prompted, enter the password or passphrase
used to secure your wireless network. The type of security information
required in this screen must match your access point or router's wireless
security settings.
3. Click Save Settings. Your extender wireless parameters should be
configured. The wireless interface will restart, and the extender will
connect to the access point or router you have chosen.
