6. From the Region menu, select the region in which you operate the extender.
Note: If you purchased the extender in the United States or Canada, the
selection from the Region menu is North America. You cannot
change this selection.
7. In the Security Options section of the screen, select the type of WiFi security that you want
to use for the extender's WiFi network:
• None. An open WiFi network that does not provide any security. Any WiFi device can
join the network.
• WEP. WEP is an older standard, and is less secure than WPA or WPA2. WEP uses
encryption keys and data encryption for data security. Select 64-bit or 128-bit
encryption and enter a key. To join the extender's WiFi network, a user must enter the
key. For more information, see
• WPA-PSK [TKIP]. WPA is more secure than WEP. Enter a passphrase. For more
information, see
• WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA2 is even more secure than WEP, but some older WiFi
devices do not detect WPA2. Enter a passphrase. To join the extender's WiFi
network, a user must enter the passphrase. For more information, see
WPA, WPA2, or WPA + WPA2
• WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PASK [AES]. When your network includes WiFi devices
that support either WPA or WPA2, select WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PASK [AES]
security. Enter a passphrase. To join the extender's WiFi network, a user must enter
the passphrase. For more information, see
on page 38.
CAUTION:
If you use a WiFi device to change the extender's WiFi settings, you are
disconnected when you click the Apply button. To reconnect, you must
select the new network name that you created, and enter the passphrase
or WiFi security key that you set up.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
9. If you are disconnected, reconnect your WiFi device to the extender's network with its new
settings.
