The network is unsecured; this is normal. You will be using it to set up the device only. After, you will be using the device over a secured wireless connection.
5. Setup Using App
Open the Asus Extender app if it's not already open.
When you first run the app, you will be asked to accept the ASUS Privacy Policy and the ASUS Terms of Use. After reading these documents carefully, select Accept to continue.
On the welcome screen, select Set up extender.
The app will detect you're already on the extender's Wi-Fi connection. Select the arrow to continue.
You'll be asked to choose where your extender will be located once the setup process has been completed. This is just for labeling purposes and will help you easily identify your extender later if you decide to add another one. Select which room your extender will be placed in.
Your extender should automatically pick up your "home" network, the one being sent by your router, automatically. It uses the strength of the signal as well as settings already saved on your smartphone or tablet to make the best possible guess.
If the app is unable to identify your home network, you will be prompted to choose it from a list, and possibly prompted for the password.
The app will automatically assign names to the Wi-Fi network the range extender provides, and sets the password for them to be the same as your main Wi-Fi password. Select Next to continue.
Make note of these Wi-Fi network names! You will need them to connect your farther-away devices to Wi-Fi using the extender's provided network!
Your network range extender is all setup!
