Extender Setup

Check this box to enable Extender Mode.

This shows the name of the Host wireless network that the camera is

connected to and will extend.

Select an option:

• Same as Host Wireless Network Name: Your extended network

will use the same name and settings as your Host network. Your

devices can use the same wireless information to connect to both

the Host and Extended networks.

• Create a New Wireless Network Name: This allows you to

manually set the name and security used for the extended network.

You will need to add this information for each wireless device that

connects to this Extended network.

Set the maximum number of clients that are allowed to connect to the

extended network.

If you choose to Create a New Wireless Network Name, you can set

your wireless security options here.

• None - No wireless encryption will be enabled. All data sent over

the wireless connection could be viewed by third parties.

• WEP - WEP is the simplest form of wireless encryption, and should

only be used if you devices do not support WPA/WPA2 encryption.

• WPA/WPA2 - This is currently the most advanced encryption

method. Enter a Pre-shared Key (PSK/password) in the text box

provided. Wireless clients will require this password in order to

access your extended network.
