Users are advised to avoid the wireless connection during the Firmware upgrade, it may lead to a sudden disconnection. Prefer a wired connection via Ethernet cable while uploading the firmware in a range extender. Before the firmware update, a user must read the release notes of new firmware to know the configuration settings that might get removed during the process. You can create a backup of those settings and can restore it later using the ap.setup web management window.
Some routers enable you to set up the Extender as a wireless access point (AP) or Wirless Extender to increase your wireless Coverage. It’ll then act as a straightforward wireless device and its sole purpose is to produce a wireless Network. Note that when a Extender becomes an access point, it’ll lose router functions like port forwarding and DHCP server. All the above shown extenders can be configured via ap.setup To setup Extender using ap.setup follow the steps:
