Log In after Installing Wifi Extender
I have successfully installed (and registered) the Wifi Extender. It is not clear to me what network I should now connect to....my current wifi network as usual? The video says I should now see my "normal" wifi network with an --EXT extension. Should I be seeing that in addition to seeing my "normal" wifi network without the EXT? If my system automatically goes to this "normal" wifi network without the EXT, do I need to log in again to the EXT network and change the auto settings? I have no idea whether I am now connected to the extended network or not. Would very much appreciate some guidance here.

Hi CapeJoe - That is correct, please use your extender to connect to your current WiFi network to extend your network.
