Setting up Your Extender in AP Mode
Wireless Extender Mode vs. AP Mode
Extender mode uses the wireless signal from the router for connectivity, and then it repeats
that signal to extend the wireless coverage for client devices.
In AP mode, the extender gets its connectivity from the router via the Ethernet and acts as
an access point for wireless clients. You may want to use AP mode in a location where you
cannot connect a device to the router wirelessly but can connect using an Ethernet cable.
Changing to AP Mode
1. On the Admin screen, click Device Mode on the left to display the Device Mode screen.
2. For Mode, select AP (Access Point) Mode.
3. Click Save. The system saves the settings, reboots, and then redisplays the Device
Mode screen.
