# WiFi Relay

You can connect the outdoor WiFi extender to another WiFi hotspot to extend the range and coverage of the current WiFi hotspots. 

Go to the **Wireless Overview** page by clicking ***"Network > Wireless"*** on the top menu.

1. Click the **"Scan"** button on the first row of ***"Ra0"** or **"Rax0"***. It will open a new page and scan the nearby WiFi hotspots. \
   \&#xNAN;*Note: Ra0 is for connecting to 2.4GHz, and Rax0 is for connecting to 5.8GHz.*
2. Choose the WiFi hotspot you want to connect to from the page and click the **"Join Network"** button.
3. 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 own WiFi master hotspot.*\
   Click the **"Submit"** button on the bottom right corner to enter the Wi-Fi client configure page. Generally speaking, you can leave all of them with no change.
4. Click the **"Save & Apply"** button to return to the wireless overview page. Wait 2\~3 minutes until the WiFi hotspot reboots.

{% 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."

If you fail to set up a WiFi relay connection, go to "Network > Wireless," delete the "SSID | Mode: Client," and repeat the above operation.
