Wireless Setting

Clicking Wireless Setting in the Utility window generates a Login window. After entering the proper user name and password (default user name is “Admin,” and default password is blank [enter no password]), the “Wireless Setting” window appears. Here, the Extender’s wireless settings can be configured.

ESSID

ESSID is the network name assigned to the Extender’s wireless network. The fac- tory default setting is “Actiontec.” Although Actiontec recommends keeping the default value intact, the ESSID value can be modified, using any combination of alphanumeric characters (i.e., A-Z, a-z, 0-9). All wireless-capable computers includ- ed on the Extender’s wireless network must have this same ESSID value.
