AC750 WiFi Range Extender
extender uses 40 MHz mode unless a nearby WiFi network is using 40 MHz mode. If that happens, the extender uses 20 MHz mode to coexist with that network.
•Enable Wireless Access Point (5 GHz). When this check box is selected, the extender allows WiFi connections in the 5 GHz band. Clearing this check box prevents wireless devices from connecting to the extender in the 5 GHz band. LAN devices can still connect to the extender over an Ethernet cable.
•Enable SSID Broadcast (5 GHz). When this check box is selected, the extender broadcasts its wireless network name (SSID) for the 5 GHz band. Clearing this check box hides the extender’s 5 GHz network name. In such a situation, this network name does not display in a WiFi network manager. A user who wants to join this hidden network must know its network name.
