How to use Site Survey
Site Survey gives a snapshot of all neighboring access points and wireless routers
within range of the extender.
To open the Site Survey page:
1. Log in to the browser-based utility (see “How to access the browser- based utility”
on page 5).
2. Click the Wireless tab. Click the Site Survey page.

by indicating the power of the wireless signal received: 1 bar= 20%,2 bars=40%, 3
bars=60%, 4 bars=80%, 5 bars=100%. If no bar is displayed, the extender is located
too far away from the upstream access point. Try to keep the signal strength
between 60% and 100% for optimum performance.
7. Security—Displays the mode of security in use by the neighboring APs. If a network
supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup, the Wi-Fi Protected Setup icon is also displayed.
To connect your extender with an access point or router in Site Survey, you will
need to know the password or passphrase of the network on that device.
1. Select the network name (SSID) that you want to repeat with your extender by
clicking the corresponding button in the Select column.
2. Click Connect. When prompted, enter the password or passphrase used to secure
your wireless network. The type of security information required in this screen must
match your access point or router’s wireless security settings.
3. Click Save. Your extender wireless parameters should be configured. The wireless
interface will restart, and the extender will connect to the access point or router you
have chosen.

8. Troubleshooting
NOTE Your RE3000 works on 2.4GHz network.
You cannot get your extender connected
Check the position of your router and extender




For first-time setup, you may need to place the extender closer to the router.
After you’ve set up your extender, you can unplug it and move it to the final
location.
To reduce signal obstructions, try alternate locations for the router and extender.
Avoid placing the router and extender near metal objects, masonry walls,
and reflective surfaces such as glass or mirrors.
Avoid placing the router and extender near other electronics that may
cause signal interference.
If you’re using Wi-Fi Protected Setup to connect, wait until the Wi-Fi Protected
Setup indicator stops blinking before trying to make the connection again.
You cannot access your range extender
To access your range extender, you must be connected to your own network. If
you currently have wireless Internet access, the problem may be that you have
