with the primary router. Generally, clients consider the Wi-Fi networks with identical name as one network;
therefore, they can find only the Wi-Fi of the primary router.

○ If you set them different, configure the local Wi-Fi name and password. Then clients will find different Wi-
Fi networks.

Caution
 After the configuration is saved, the Wi-Fi is disconnected. The clients need to connect to the new Wi-Fi.
Remember the configured Wi-Fi name and password, and exercise caution when performing the
configuration.
 You are advised to install the range extender in a position where more than two grids of signal is
available to prevent serious signal loss in the repeating process. If the signal at the installation position is
too weak, Wi-Fi extension may fail or signal quality is poor after amplification.
