Q5. How do I check the Wi-Fi signal strength of my extended networks?

An easy way to check the signal strength is to access the dashboard of the extender. Go to Settings > Status, the Uplink Signal and the Uplink Speed are shown under both of your extended networks.

Q6. Why the 2.4GHz and 5GHz LEDs on the extender are lit in amber?

Amber indicates that the extender is connected, but it is far away from the main (host) router (or AP). You should relocate it closer to the router or use the Location Assistant feature on the Kasa mobile app to find a best location to place the extender.

Glossary

802.11b - The 802.11b standard, also known as Wi-Fi, which provides speeds up to 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. - 802.11g - The 802.11g specification is for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11n – 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity, perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development process and promote a technology specification

for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area networking (WLAN) products.

• Access Point (Range Extender) – A wireless LAN transceiver or "base station" that can connect a wired LAN to one or many wireless devices. Access points can also bridge to each other. DNS (Domain Name System) – An Internet Service that translates the names of websites into IP addresses.
• Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the Internet.
• DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) – A technology that allows data to be sent or received over existing traditional phone lines.
• ISP (Internet Service Provider) – A company that provides access to the Internet. MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) – The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be transmitted.
• SSID – A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) – A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or 152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
• Wi-Fi – A trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance and the brand name for products using the IEEE 802.11 family of standards.
• WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) – A group of computers and

associated devices communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local area.

- WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) – WPA is a security technology for wireless networks that improves on the authentication and encryption features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). In fact, WPA was developed by the networking industry in response to the shortcomings of WEP. One of the key technologies behind WPA is the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP addresses the encryption weaknesses of WEP. Another key component of WPA is built-in authentication that WEP does not offer. With this feature, WPA provides roughly comparable security to VPN tunneling with WEP, with the benefit of easier administration and use. This is similar to 802.1x support and requires a RADIUS server in order to implement. The Wi-Fi Alliance will call this, WPA-Enterprise. One variation of WPA is called WPA Pre Shared Key or WPA-Personal for short - this provides an authentication alternative to an expensive RADIUS server. WPA-Personal is a simplified but still powerful form of WPA most suitable for home Wi-Fi networking. To use WPA-Personal, a person sets a static key or "passphrase" as with WEP. But, using TKIP, WPA-Personal automatically changes the keys at a preset time interval, making it much more difficult for hackers to find and exploit them. The Wi-Fi Alliance will call this, WPA-Personal.
