My Wi-Fi range extender

I have a finished basement and my router's signal is weak there, so I installed a Wi-Fi range extender in the basement to provide a stronger signal. The extender is part of my HomeNet_Guest network; its network name is HomeNet_Guest_EXT.

Settings

  • Band steering: Enabled
    The same network name (HomeNet_Guest_EXT [SSID]) is used for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi frequency bands.

  • Hide SSID: Disabled

  • Password access: Enabled

  • Authentication method: WPA2/WPA3-Personal

  • Automatic time change (+/- 1 hour) when Daylight Saving Time changes in March and November

  • Automatic firmware check and upgrade: Once a day

  • Automatic reboot: Once a week
