Note

When Smart Connect is enabled, 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same network name and password (only one SSID will be displayed). Your wireless devices will automatically switch to connect to the Wi-Fi band that provides the fastest speed.

LAN

Shows the LAN port status, IP address and subnet mask. Click More Details to know more information about it or make changes.

By default, the Range Extender automatically obtains an IP address from the main router. It is recommended to keep this setting unless you need to assign a fixed IP address for network management. Incorrect settings may prevent the Range Extender from accessing the network or being reachable for management.

If you do need to assign a fixed IP address, you may go to the management page System Status -> LAN -> Settings or Advanced Settings -> Network -> LAN, and follow the steps below.

  1. Enable Static address.
  2. Set an unused IP address in the same subnet as the main router. For example, if the main router is 192.168.1.1, you can use 192.168.1.250.
  3. Select a subnet mask from the drop-down list or customize it. Usually the same as the main router's subnet mask, such as 255.255.255.0.
  4. Enter the IP address of the main router in the Default Gateway field, such as 192.168.1.1.
  5. Enter a preferred DNS server, such as the main router's IP address or a public DNS server.
  6. Enter an alternate DNS server as backup if needed.
  7. It is recommended to keep the default MTU value unless your ISP or network administrator specifies otherwise.
  8. Click Save & Apply.
