“So once I set this up and I click on Wifi on my phone to connect, I no longer choose the SSID name of the router and instead choose the SSID with the name RE6700_EXT ??”

• Yes that is correct SheltieMom. This extender will have a new network name. The same as yours was before but w/ "_EXT" at the end. If you use the disk included and connect to the internet you can rename the network to whatever you want. You can also change which network you are connected to based off where you are in the house, using the one that has the strongest signal.

• You can select either. I would check the one with the strongest connection.

• Hi, SheltieMom. Yes, you will then connect your wireless devices to the network name you've set on the range extender.
