# 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."
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://extender.router.works/ezr13t/firmware/wifi-relay.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
