5. GHz—Displays the radio band (in GHz) of the neighboring wireless
networks

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.
7. 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

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
