My WN2500RPv2 wireless network (2.4GHz)

Name (SSID) In the

Name (SSID) field, type a new name or use the name that the extender

assigns by default:

• Existing network name. MyNetworkName

• New extended 2.4 GHz network name. MyNetworkName_2GEXT

If more than one extender operates in your neighborhood, changing the SSID

makes it easier to identify the extenders.

Channel From the Channel menu, select Auto for automatic channel selection or select an

individual channel.

Note: You can change the channel if you have enabled FastLane Technology or

if the extender is not connected to the WiFi router. For more information about

FastLane Technology, see Set the Operating Mode to FastLane Technology on

page 61.

Note: In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel

unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data

transfers). If this happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the

best.
