N300 WiFi Range Extender WN2000RPT

6. From the Region menu, select the region in which you operate the extender.

Note: If you purchased the extender in the United States or Canada, the

selection from the Region menu is North America. You cannot

change this selection.

7. In the Security Options section of the screen, select the type of WiFi security that you want

to use for the extender’

WiFi network:

• None.

An open WiFi network that does not provide any security. Any WiFi device can

join the network.

• WEP. WEP is an older standard, and is less secure than WPA or WP

A2. WEP uses

encryption keys and data encryption for data security. Select 64-bit or 128-bit

encryption and enter a key. To join the extender’s WiFi network, a user must enter the

key. For more information, see Configure WEP on page 39.

• WPA-PSK [TKIP]. WPA is more secure than WEP. Enter a passphrase. For more

information, see Configure WP

A, WPA2, or WPA + WPA2 on page 38.

• WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA2 is even more secure than WEP, but some older WiFi

devices do not detect WP

A2. Enter a passphrase. To join the extender’s WiFi

network, a user must enter the passphrase. For more information, see Configure

WPA, WPA2, or WPA + WPA2 on page 38.

• WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PASK [AES]. When your network includes WiFi devices

that support either WP

A or WPA2, select WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PASK [AES]

security. Enter a passphrase. To join the extender’s WiFi network, a user must enter

the passphrase. For more information, see Configure WPA, WPA2, or WPA + WPA2

on page 38.

CAUTION:

If you use a WiFi device to change the extender’s WiFi settings, you are

disconnected when you click the Apply button. To reconnect, you must

select the new network name that you created, and enter the passphrase

or WiFi security key that you set up.

8. Click the Apply button.

Your settings are saved.

9. If you are disconnected, reconnect your WiFi device to the extender’

network with its new

settings.

The Setup Wizard can guide you through this process. For more information, see Run the

Setup Wizard Again After Initial Setup on page 47.
