Troubleshooting
1. In range e tender mode, is my BR-6208AC dual-band?
a Yes The BR-6208AC can extend 2 4GHz & 5GHz Wi-Fi signals concurrently, but
you must connect your BR-6208AC to each (2 4GHz & 5GHz) network separately
during iQ setup During iQ Setup, you will be asked to select both a 2 4GHz &
5GHz Wi-Fi network to extend, as well as specify a new SSID (name) and
password for each of the networks that your BR-6208AC’s will
broadcast/extend
You can disable either 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi during iQ setup if
there is no appropriate source network available, or if you do not
wish to use it. If either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency band is
disabled, wireless clients/devices on the same frequency band will
be unable to connect to your range extender.
2. In range e tender mode, if my BR-6208AC is set up as a dual-band
e tender, what happens when I connect a wired Ethernet client?
a When you connect a network device to your BR-6208AC in range extender mode
via Ethernet cable, by default the network device will connect to the 5GHz
network If there is no 5GHz network available, the network device will connect
to the 2 4GHz network instead
3. In range e tender mode, how do I connect to a network which
has a hidden SSID?
a During iQ Setup, you can manually enter a SSID in the “Wi-Fi network name”
field as shown below, for either/both 2 4GHz and 5GHz, along with the relevant
encryption information
8
Wi-Fi network name
Enter the SSID (network name) of your existing,
hidden network
Range e tender SSID Enter an SSID for the BR-6208AC or leave it blank
to use a default which consists of your existing
router’s SSID (above) +"_2EX"
Encryption Select and enter the encryption information for
your existing, hidden network
4. What do the LEDs mean?
The LEDs can be identified by icons on the underside of the BR-6208AC
