Scan for a Wireless Network
Click SCAN to begin searching for available wireless networks to
repeat. The Scan result will list all available 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz
wireless networks detected by the Dual Band Repeater – including
each network name (SSID), the operating channel, the type of
security and the signal strength.
If you are extending a dual band router, you will need to select the
SSID of your 2.4GHz network and the SSID of your 5.0GHz network.
The signal strength indicates the wireless connection between that
network and the Dual Band Repeater. It is important to choose
networks that are greater than 70%. A wireless network with a
signal strength of less than 70% may create a poor connection
which results in slower throughput and frequent dropped
connections.
If you fail to find any wireless networks, or your signal strength is below 70%, try moving the Dual Band
Repeater closer to the wireless network that you are trying to repeat and click SCAN again.
