By default, the extender broadcasts its WiFi network name (SSID) for the 2.4 GHz
band. Clear the Enable SSID Broadcast (2.4GHz) check box only to hide the

network name of the extender does not display in a WiFi network manager. A user
who wants to join the hidden WiFi network of the extender must know its network
name.
By default, 20/40 MHz coexistence is enabled to prevent interference between

other wireless networks are present in your environment, you can clear the

maximum supported speed.
