How Do I Know If I'm Connected To An Extender?

Question

My phone keeps flipping between networks.  Sometimes it's on the extender, and sometimes it's on the Falinge Co-Operative Freenet.

Answer

When you are connected to the extender, the SSID normallt ends with the suffix _EXT.  Your device will connect to the signal that is strongest.  If you are moving about in your premesis, then the external signal might be stronger in some places than your extender.  It is ok to click Forget Network, because you can always join again with one click.
