Getting Started
The NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender increases the distance of a WiFi
network by boosting the existing WiFi signal and enhancing the overall
signal quality over long distances. An extender repeats the signals from an
existing WiFi router or access point.

Install the WiFi Extender
Place the extender, apply power, and connect it to your WiFi network.
Place the Extender and Apply Power
1. Place your extender in the same room as your WiFi router.
Proximity to the WiFi router is required only during the initial setup
process.
2. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
The Power LED lights green. If the Power LED does not light, press the
Power button.
Connect to an Existing WiFi Network
To extend the range of your WiFi network, you must connect the extender
to your existing WiFi network. You can do this in one of two ways:
• Connect with WPS. For more information, see Connect with WPS on
page 6.
• Connect with web browser setup. For more information, see
Connect with Web Browser Setup on page 7.

Connect with WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join a secure WiFi network without
typing the network name and password.
Note: WPS does not support WEP network security. If you are using WEP
security, follow the instructions in Connect with Web Browser Setup on
page 7.
1. Press the WPS button on the side panel of the extender.
The WPS LED blinks.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router or access
point.
The WPS LED on the extender lights solid green, the Router Link LED
lights, and the extender connects to your existing WiFi network.
If the Router Link LED does not light, try again. If it still does not light,
see Connect with Web Browser Setup on page 7.
3. Find the new extender network name.
The extender’s wireless network name (SSID) changes to your existing
WiFi network name, with _EXT at the end of the name, for example:
• Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
• New extended network name. MyNetworkName_EXT
7
4. Connect your WiFi devices to the new extender network.
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.
5. Unplug the extender and move it to a new location closer to the area
with a poor WiFi signal.
The location that you choose must be within the range of your
existing WiFi router network.
6. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
The Power LED lights green. If the Power LED does not light, press the
Power button.
7. Use the Router Link LED on the front panel to help you choose a spot
where the extender-to-router connection is optimal.
Connect with Web Browser Setup
1. Use a WiFi network manager on a computer or mobile device to find
and connect to the NETGEAR_EXT (SSID) WiFi network.
Aer the connection with the computer or mobile device is
established, the Device Link LED lights.
2. Open a web browser window from the same computer or mobile
device.
The browser takes you directly to the NETGEAR genie Smart Setup.
If you are not automatically directed to NETGEAR genie, launch a web
8
browser and type www.mywifiext.net in the address field. Enter
admin for the user name and password for the password.
3. Select a WiFi network to extend and click the Continue button.
4. Type the network password (also called passphrase or security key) in
the Password field, and click the Continue button.
5. In the Name field, type the name (SSID) for your new extender WiFi
network and click the Continue button.
You can use the same security settings as your existing network by
selecting the check box.
The settings are applied and the following screen displays.

On iPads, iPhones, and MacBook computers, this screen automatically
closes.

connect to the extender’s newly created WiFi network.
Repeat this step for all of your computers and mobile devices.
7. If the screen is still displayed on your computer or device, select the
check box at the bottom of the screen and click the Continue button.

8. Unplug the extender and move it to a new location closer to the area
with a poor WiFi signal.
The location that you choose must be within the range of your
existing WiFi router network.
9. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
The Power LED lights green. If the Power LED does not light, press the
Power button.
Use the Router Link LED to help you choose a spot where the
extender-to-router connection is optimal.
Find the Best Location
If the WiFi signal is weak, the first time you join the extender network, the
Router Link LED or Device Link LED is amber or red. If this happens, adjust
the position of the extender.
• If the Router Link LED is amber or red, move the extender closer to
the router.
• If the Device Link LED is amber or red, move the computer or mobile
device closer to the extender.
