How can I change the Wireless Network (SSID) name an password?
You can edit these settings in the “Wireless” app on the LCD. -
I just finished setting up the Range Extender. Why am I not seeing any improvement in the Range?
Please note that the Range extender by default creates a new wireless network with Almond appended to your original network’s name. -
Can I have the same name for the extended network as my main network?
Yes, you can change the network name in the “Wireless” app on the LCD. -
In the range extender mode, Almond was unable to connect though I am close to the main Router.
Some routers don’t allow you to connect to range extenders. Please try using the “Wireless WAN” app on the LCD for such routers.

In actuality, WiFi extenders can increase the wireless network’s range.

Wi-Fi extenders improve the signal’s range across your home by rebroadcasting it. Install the Wi-Fi extender between your router and any dead zones for the greatest results. Although inexpensive and simple to install, Wi-Fi extenders aren’t always the greatest method to improve your Wi-Fi.
