20 Accessing Your RangeMax WiFi Range Extender after Installation

3. Select a security option:

• WPA-PSK (TKIP) + WPA2-PSK (AES) or Mixed Mode. This provides the most

reliable security, and is easiest to implement, but it might not be compatible with older

adapters.

• WPA2-PSK (AES). This provides the most reliable security compatible with my

equipment.

• WPA-PSK (TKIP). This provides the most reliable security compatible with my

equipment.

• WEP. This provides security compatible with my equipment (not recommended as

reliable).

• No security. I plan to set up security later through the web browser interface (not

recommended).

Follow the instructions in the User Manual or the WiFi range extender help screens if you

need help setting up the security feature appropriate to your needs.

4. To save your settings click Apply.

Updating Your Firmware

NETGEAR is always improving the operability and features included with your extender. To make

it easy for you to receive the best, most up-to-date features of your extender, NETGEAR provides

a variety of methods for updating your product.

• The Smart Wizard installation assistant lets you check for and install updates as part of the

installation and setup activity.

• The WiFi range extender includes an update feature that lets you check for and install updates.

You must be logged in to the extender to use this feature.

To update firmware after you have set up your extender:

The Firmware Update Assistant screen displays.

If you are configuring the extender from a wireless computer and you change

the extender’s SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose your wireless

connection when you click Apply. You must then change your computer’s

wireless settings to match the extender’s new settings.
