Connecting to a WiFi network

If there are several WiFi networks in your area (yours, your neighbor's, public hotspots…), WiFi Extender

Manager allows you to connect to your own network. We will now take the example of the WiFi network

corresponding to your Livebox network. If you have another box or another WiFi modem router, however, you can also select the corresponding network.

Make sure to select the network corresponding to your actual box or modem router, or else you risk being disconnected.

- On the home page, click the Advanced Settings button to access the advanced settings for your WiFi network.

- Select Advanced WiFi settings, then Configuration Assistant.

- On the page displayed, click the WiFi configuration button.

The WiFi Extender Manager Configuration Assistant launches detection of existing networks. The detected

WiFi networks (that of your Livebox and the other networks) are displayed in a dedicated page.
