rite down the new password and keep it in a secure place for future reference.

Control the WiFi Network Broadcast

The extender wireless antennas automatically broadcast a WiFi signal. You can disable WiFi

in the extender, or leave WiFi enabled but prevent the extender from broadcasting a signal.

When the extender WiFi is enabled and it does not broadcast a signal, that creates a hidden

network. Hidden networks do not display in the lists of available networks that your computer

or WiFi devices find. To connect to a hidden network, you must know the WiFi network name

and password and manually enter them instead of finding and selecting a WiFi network.

 To control the WiFi network broadcast:

1. On your computer

, launch a web browser.

2. In the address field of your browser

, enter http://www.mywifiext.net.

You are prompted to enter a user name and password. If you do not see the login prompt,

make sure to include http:// when you type http://www

.mywifiext.net in your browser.

3. Type admin for the user name and password for the password.
