Using Site Survey on the Belkin RX7500

The Site Survey feature of the Belkin WiFi 6 Range Extender, RX7500 displays all the WiFi within the range. This is helpful when you want the range extender to connect to your existing WiFi but the status shows Disconnected in the Basic Settings. Follow the instructions below to learn how to use the Site Survey feature of the Belkin range extender.

NOTE: This feature is ONLY available if the Belkin RX7500 is set up in Wireless Range Extender mode.

SSID - displays the name of available WiFi.
GHz - indicates the radio band of available WiFi.
Signal - displays the relative position of the available networks within range by indicating the power of the wireless signal received.

QUICK TIP: If a signal with no green bar is displayed, the range extender is located too far from the router. For optimum performance, place your range extender near the router to keep the signal strength between 60% and 100%.
Security - displays the security type used by available networks. If a network supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS), the WPS icon is also displayed.
