How-Tos; Changing The Name Of The Wireless Network Name (Ssid); Setting Up The Device As An Access Point - Manhattan 525695 User Manual

In this section, we discuss some of the most common actions you are likely to consider.
4.3.1 Changing the name of the wireless network name (SSID)
First, you need to log in to the Web admin UI of the wireless range extender. See Section 4.1.
Next, click "Basic Settings." Keep in mind that the wireless range extender is a dual‐band device, which means it has two
wireless radios you can configure independently.
Change the SSID to the desired value, then click "Apply" to save and activate the settings.
4.3.2 Setting up the device as an access point
In addition to being a wireless range extender, the device can
function as a regular access point. An access point connects
wireless and wired devices so that they can communicate in a
network. That is exactly what a typical wireless router in a
home network does, except the wireless router also manages
the connection to the Internet of multiple devices at the same
time. That is something a regular wireless access point cannot
do.
Note: The Manhattan Wireless AC750 Dual‐Band Range
Extender can act as a regular access point, but it can fulfill the
role of a wireless router once the mode selector switch is set to router mode.
Log in to the Web admin UI of the wireless range extender. On the main screen, click "AP."
