# Extend Your Box
An extended Butter Box pairs the Raspberry Pi with a standalone Wi-Fi router, giving stronger signal and more simultaneous connections.

With the router, the network can reach 10-30 m (32-98 feet),and can comfortably support 1020 connected devices at the same time. This setup is ideal for a medium group of people in a medium room, like classrooms, events, or community spaces.

## Steps
To extend your box, you simply connect a GLi-Net router to the Butter Box with an ethernet cable. Instead of accessing the box from the portal Wi-Fi hotspot (eg. 'butter box' or whichever name you set in the admin settings), users will join the Wi-Fi network of the router.

### Disable Butter Box Wi-Fi Access Point
Open the admin settings from the Butter Box portal. Navigate to **Secure Portal**. Turn off the Wi-Fi access point. This will hide the Wi-Fi network that broadcasts from the raspberry pi, so that users dont get confused about which network to join.
