EX6100 WiFi Range Extender

Installation Guide

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.

You can also connect the extender to your router or gateway with an

Ethernet cable and use the extender as an 11ac access point. See

Install the Extender as an Access Point on page 15.

Existing WiFi

Sometimes your router

does not provide the WiFi

coverage you need.

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.

Note: 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.

3. Make sure that the switch on the extender is set to 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 genie Smart Setup. For more information, see

Connect with NETGEAR genie Smart 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. The WPS button is a

physical button on the router or access point.

WPS does not support WEP network security. If you are using WEP

security, see Connect with NETGEAR genie Smart Setup on page 8.

To connect with WPS:

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 is connected to your existing

WiFi network.

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

does not light, see Connect with NETGEAR genie Smart Setup

on page 8.

3. If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band, repeat steps 1 and 2

to connect the extender to the 5 GHz band.

4. Find the new extender network name.

The extender’s wireless network name (SSID) changes to your

existing WiFi network name, with _2GEXT or _5GEXT at the end

of the name, depending on whether the extender is connecting to

your WiFi network in 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.

For example:

•Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName

•New extended network name. MyNetworkName_2GEXT

MyNetworkName_5GEXT

5. Connect your existing WiFi devices to the new extended network.

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

6. Unplug the extender and move it to a new location closer to the

area with a poor WiFi signal.

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

WiFi router network.

7. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet and wait one minute.

The Power LED lights green. If the Power LED does not

light, press the Power button.

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 NETGEAR genie Smart Setup

1. Make sure that the switch on the extender is set to Extender.

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

find and connect to one of the extender WiFi networks.

The extender is dual band, so it has two WiFi networks:

•2.4 GHz network. EX6100_NETGEAR_2GEXT

•5 GHz network. EX6100_NETGEAR_5GEXT

After the connection with the computer or mobile device is

established, the Client Link LED lights solid green.

3. Open a web browser window from the same computer or mobile

device.

The browser takes you directly to the NETGEAR genie®smart

setup.

Note: If you are not automatically directed to NETGEAR genie,

launch a web browser and enter www.mywifiext.net in the

address field. Enter admin for the user name and password for

the password.

4. Select a 2.4 GHz WiFi network to extend and click the Continue

button.

5. Type the network password (also called passphrase or security

key) in the Password field, and click the Continue button.

6. Select a 5 GHz WiFi network to extend and click the Continue

button.

If your router does not support the 5 GHz band, click the Skip

button.

7. Type the network password (also called passphrase or security

key) in the Password field, and click the Continue button.

8. Select the Private Network or Public Network radio button, and

click the Continue button.

9. Enter names (SSIDs) for your new extender WiFi network in the

Name (2.4G SSID) and Name (5G SSID) fields and click the

Continue button.

Note: 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:
