Once your WRE6602 has connected to a wireless router or AP, the WRE6602 has different behaviors
when extending the network to its clients. The WRE6602 checks whether connection to the wireless
router or AP is 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Depending on the this connection, the WRE6602 behavior is as follows:

WRE6602 User’s Guide

29

Chapter 4 Repeater Mode

• When there is a single 2.4GHz connection between the wireless router/AP and the WRE6602, the
WRE6602 uses this 2.4 GHz SSID for both connections to the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless clients.

• When there is a single 5GHz connection between the wireless router/AP and the WRE6602, the
WRE6602 uses the 5GHz SSID for both connections to the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless clients.

WRE6602 User’s Guide

30

Chapter 4 Repeater Mode

• When there are 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections between the wireless router/AP and the WRE6602,
each one with a different SSID. The WRE6602 uses the 2.4GHz SSID for its 2.4GHz connection to the

2.4GHz wireless clients, and the 5GHz SSID for its 5GHz wireless clients respectively.

• When there are 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections with a single SSID from the router to the WRE6602, the
WRE6602 uses the same SSID for both connections to the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless clients.

Note: If the wireless router’s SSID is unavailable, the WRE6602’s SSID will also be unavailable.
