4. Select Advanced > Wireless Settings.
All the check boxes are selected by default.
5. In the Advanced Wireless Settings section of the screen, select or clear the check boxes:
• Enable Wireless Access Point (2.4 GHz). When this check box is selected, the
extender allows WiFi connections in the 2.4 GHz band. Clearing this check box
prevents wireless devices from connecting to the extender in the 2.4 GHz band. LAN
devices can still connect to the extender over an Ethernet cable.
• Enable SSID Broadcast (2.4 GHz). When this check box is selected, the extender
broadcasts its wireless network name (SSID) for the 2.4 GHz band. Clearing this
check box hides the extender's 2.4 GHz network name. In such a situation, this
network name does not display in a WiFi network manager. A user who wants to join
this hidden network must know its network name.
• Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence (2.4 GHz). The extender 2.4 GHz WiFi network can
run in either 40 MHz mode or 20 MHz mode. When this check box is selected, the
extender uses 40 MHz mode unless a nearby WiFi network is using 40 MHz mode. If
that happens, the extender uses 20 MHz mode to coexist with that network.
• Enable Wireless Access Point (5 GHz). When this check box is selected, the
extender allows WiFi connections in the 5 GHz band. Clearing this check box
prevents wireless devices from connecting to the extender in the 5 GHz band. LAN
devices can still connect to the extender over an Ethernet cable.
• Enable SSID Broadcast (5 GHz). When this check box is selected, the extender
broadcasts its wireless network name (SSID) for the 5 GHz band. Clearing this check
box hides the extender's 5 GHz network name. In such a situation, this network name
does not display in a WiFi network manager. A user who wants to join this hidden
network must know its network name.
