Hi to all, im currently the owner of a range extender (conected to a public wifi from a local park)

My question is, there is a way to use a password for my extender? Or hide the SSID so random people stop conecting to it.

 

The public modem has no password on it.

 

 

Thanks!

Hello, for your information, the wireless settings, especially the wireless security type must be the same as the internet source, we cannot setup a separate password for the extender. 

 

And there is no option to hide SSID. 

 

Good day.
