the router and try again.

7. Reconnect your computer or mobile device to the new extender WiFi network.
After the setup, the One WiFi Name feature is enabled, which allows your extender
to use the same WiFi network settings as your router.
8. Connect your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to the extended network.
Your extender uses the same WiFi network settings as your router for its 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz extended networks.
For example, if your extender connects to the router's 2.4 GHz WiFi band, your
extender uses your router's 2.4 GHz WiFi settings for both its networks:
• Existing router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• Existing router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• New extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• New extended 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
If your extender connects to the router's 5 GHz WiFi band, your extender uses your
router's 5 GHz WiFi settings for both its networks:
• Existing router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• Existing router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• New extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• New extended 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
Note: Since your router and extended networks share the same WiFi network name,
only one WiFi network name is broadcast.
