extended Network Settings

These options enable you to configure your Extended Networks.
SSId Settings
This screen enables you to configure the SSID, security,
and other features of your Extended Network.
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)
This is the name of your extended wireless Range Extender as it
will show up when you try to connect to it from a laptop, tablet, etc.
Broadcast SSId
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.
