# WiFi Relay
The EZR13T extender can be configured in WiFi client mode to connect to an existing WiFi hotspot as a client device. When joining another WiFi network, the router will obtain internet connectivity through that target wireless access point.
The WiFi relay function requires connecting to a single-band, single-channel WiFi network, and a mixed 2.4/5.8G hotspot is not supported.
To set up the router as a WiFi relay client, log into the router and go to "**Network > Wireless**."
1. Click the **"Scan"** button on the first row of ***"radio0,"*** it will open a new page and scan the nearby WiFi hotspots.
2. Choose the WiFi hotspot you want to connect to from the page and click the **"Join Network"** button.\
3. It jumps to the initial WiFi relay configuration page.
* Enter the WiFi password on the "WPA passphrase" field.
* Leave the new network as **"wwan"** in the **"WAN/Mobile"** firewall zone.
* *!! Do not enable the "Replace wireless configuration" check box unless you intend to disable its WiFi master hotspot.*
* Click the **"Submit"** button on the bottom right corner to enter the Wi-Fi client configure page.\
4. On the Wi-Fi client review page, check the target WiFi hotspot information, then scroll down to the bottom and click the "**Save & Apply**" button.
* *Do not modify the default Operating Mode, Channel, or Bandwidth settings when joining a WiFi network for relaying. Keeping the defaults allows automatic matching of the upstream network's settings, which is required to associate as a client device successfully.*\
5. It returns to the wireless overview page. Wait 2\~3 minutes until the WiFi hotspot reboots.
After successfully joining a WiFi network, as the image below shows, with a "***Mode: Client***," the router has successfully joined the defined network and authenticated. \
If you fail to set up a WiFi relay connection, go to "Network > Wireless," delete the "SSID | Mode: Client," and repeat the above operation.
{% hint style="info" %}
Ensure the target WiFi hotspot has a different IP range than the extender.
We can repeat the above operations and connect to multiple WiFi hotspots. Please use a different "Name of the new network" and set the firewall to "WAN."
