Note: 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:
• Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• Router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• Extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• 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:
• Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• Router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• Extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• 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.
