N600 WiFi Range Extender

My WN2500RPv2 wireless network (5GHz)

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 5 GHz network name. MyNetworkName_5GEXT

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.

Wireless mode From the W

ireless mode menu, select one of the following modes:

• Up to 54 Mbps. Legacy mode. This mode allows 802.1

1an and 802.11a

devices to join the network but limits 802.11n devices to function at up to

54 Mbps. If your network security is WEP or WPA-PSK [TKIP], you must use

the Up to 54 Mbps mode.

• Up to 145 Mbps. Neighbor-friendly mode for reduced interference with

neighboring wireless networks.

Allows 802.1

1an and 802.11a devices to join

the network but limits 802.11an devices to function at up to 145 Mbps.

• Up to 300 Mbps. Performance mode.

Allows 802.1

1an and 802.11a devices

to join the network and allows 802.11an devices to function at up to

300 Mbps.

Note: You can change the wireless mode in the 5 GHz band only if the extender

is connected to the WiFi router in the 2.4 GHz band. If the extender is connected

to the WiFi router in the 5 GHz band, the extender adopts the wireless mode that

the WiFi router functions in and the Wireless mode menu is disabled.

Note: To enable the extender to function at full link rate, enable FastLane

Technology. For more information, see Set the Operating Mode to FastLane

Technology on page 61.

Note: WPA-PSK [TKIP] security supports speeds of up to 54 Mbps. Even if your

devices are capable of a higher speed, WPA-PSK [TKIP] security limits their speed

to 54 Mbps.
