Scan public hotspots :
- can only join to open networks with no encryption key needed.
- a list of duplicated networks (SSIDs) will be shown, and EZhotspot Extender will join to the selected network (SSID) with the best signal strength.
- if connection fails, EZhotspot Extender will try to join to the next network with the same SSID for a period of 30 seconds which still unsuccessful, the ezwizard menu will be prompted again.
Scan private networks :
- can only join to secured networks using WPA/WPA2-PSK encryption key only
- a list of duplicated networks (SSIDs) will be shown, and EZhotspot Extender will join to the selected network (SSID) with the best signal strength.
- if connection fails, EZhotspot Extender will try to join to the next network with the same SSID for a period of 30 seconds which still unsuccessful, the ezwizard menu will be prompted again.
Scan all networks :
- can join to open networks or secured networks using WEP, WPA/WPA-PSK, WPA/WPA2-ENTERPRISE encryption key
- a list of networks (SSIDs) with their signal strength, and EZhotspot Extender will only join to the particular selected network (SSID) by its unique MAC address
- if connection fails, EZhotspot Extender will contiune to try to join to the same network (SSID) for a period of 30 seconds which still unsuccessful, the ezwizard will be prompted again.
Quick Hotspots : Deprecated and no longer supported
- joins to embedded popular public hotspots.
- a list of duplicated networks (SSIDs) will be shown, and V4 will join to the selected network (SSID) with the best signal strength.
- if connection fails, EZhotspot Extender will try to join to the next network with the same SSID for a period of 30 seconds which still unsuccessful, the ezwizard menu will be prompted again.
Note: The Scan Public Hotspots and Scan Private Networks will be deprecated in future firmware. It is strongly recommended to use the improved Scan All Newtorks , which offers more possibility to scan and join to different types with real time wireless signal monitoring.
