Manage the Extender Network and Security Settings

N300 WiFi Range Extender WN2000RPT

13. Use a WiFi network manager on the computer or on a mobile device to connect to the

extender’s newly created WiFi network.

Note: Unless you entered a new network name in Step 9, the extender uses

the name of the WiFi network to which you connected the extender and

adds _EXT at the end of the name.

Note: If your computer or mobile device cannot join the new WiFi network of

the extender, see You Cannot Join a WiFi Network and Receive an

Error Message on page 65.

14. Select the My wireless devices are connected to the Extender network check box, and

click the Continue button.

The new WiFi network settings for the extender are saved and the Status screen

displays.

Use WPS to Add a WiFi Device to the Extender’s WiFi

Network

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) lets you connect a computer or WiFi device to the extender’s

network without entering the WiFi network passphrase or key. Instead, you use a WPS button

or enter a PIN to connect.

If you use the Push button method, the WiFi device that you are trying to connect must have

a physical Push button or a software Push button. If you use the PIN method, you must know

the PIN of the WiFi device that you are trying to connect.

WPS supports WPA and WPA2 WiFi security. If your extender network is open (no WiFi

security is set), connecting with WPS automatically sets WPA + WP

A2 WiFi security on the

extender network and generates a random passphrase.
