Quick Start

AC750 WiFi Range Extender

Model EX6100

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.

Existing WiFi

Sometimes your router

does not provide the WiFi

coverage you need.

Use the Extender in Extender Mode

The extender repeats signals from an existing WiFi router or access point.

Place the extender, apply power, and connect it to your WiFi network.

Place the Extender and Apply Power

1. Set the Access Point/Extender switch to the Extender

position.

2. Place your extender in the same room as your WiFi router.

Proximity to the WiFi router is required only during initial setup.

3. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.

Wait for the Power LED to light green.

4. If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off button on

the extender.

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 8.

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 8.

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.

When the extender connects to your existing WiFi network, the WPS

LED on the extender lights solid green and the Router Link LED

lights. If the Router Link LED does not light, try again. If it still

does not light, see Connect with Web Browser Setup on page 8.

3. If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band, repeats Steps 1and 2 to

connect the extender to the 5 GHz band.

4. Unplug the extender and move it to a new location that is about

halfway between your router and the area with a poor router WiFi

signal.

The location that you choose must be within the range of your

existing WiFi router network.

5. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet and wait for the Power LED

to light green.

6. Use the Router Link LED to help you choose a spot where the

extender-to-router connection is optimal.

7. If the Router Link LED does not light amber or green, plug the

extender into an outlet closer to the router and try again.

Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router until this

LED lights amber or green.

8. On your computer or WiFi device, find and connect to the new

extended WiFi network.

The extender creates a new extended WiFi network. The extender’s

new WiFi network names are based on your existing WiFi network

name, with _EXT at the end of the name.

For example:

• Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName

• New extended WiFi network names. MyNetworkName_2GEXT

and MyNetworkName_5GEXT.

DO DON’T

Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.

9. Test the extended WiFi range by moving your computer or WiFi device

to the area with a poor router WiFi signal:

a. Leave your computer or WiFi device in the area with a poor router

WiFi signal and return to the extender.

b. Check the Client Link LED on the extender:

• If the Client Link LED is solid green or amber, your extended

WiFi network reaches the area with a poor router WiFi signal

and your network setup is complete.

• If the Client Link LED is red, your extended WiFi network

does not reach the area with a poor router WiFi signal.

You must move the computer or WiFi device closer to the

extender until the Client Link LED turns solid green or amber.

Connect With Web Browser Setup

1. Use a WiFi network manager on a computer or mobile device to ﬁnd

and connect to the extender WiFi network

8. In the Password (Network Key) field, type the existing WiFi

network passphrase (also called the passphrase or security key) and

click the NEXT button.

9. Set the network name (SSID) and password for your extender and

click the NEXT button.

Wait for the page to display a list of available extended WiFi networks,

which might take up to one minute.

10. Use a WiFi network manager on the computer or WiFi device to

connect to the new extended WiFi network.

You must connect your computer or WiFi device before you click the
