Question
How do I setup the SBR-AC1900P for Wireless Extenders?  
Answer
The SBR-AC1900P Wi-Fi router includes the feature to configure the wireless extenders automatically or manually.  The SBR-AC1900P is setup to configure the wireless extenders automatically.  When the SBR-AC1900P Wi-Fi router is used in conjunction with the SBX-AC1200P W-Fi extender it will push the router's Wi-Fi settings to the extender.  The SBR-AC1900P has 3 configuration options:
  • Auto - Allow the SBR-AC1900P to configure the wireless extenders automatically by pushing the router's Wi-Fi settings to the extender.
  • Semi-Auto - Allows yourself to configure the Wi-Fi settings to the wireless extenders. 
  • Disable - When selected each wireless extender will need to be accessed individually in order to configure the Wi-Fi settings.
