Quick Start

AC1200 Dual Band WiFi Range Extender

Model EX6120

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.

Use the Extender in Extender Mode

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 and wait for the Power LED

to light green.

If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/O 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 9.

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 9.

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 9.

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. 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.

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

the extender.

6. Use the Router Link LED on the front panel to help you choose a spot

where the extender-to-router connection is optimal.

7. If the Router Link LED doesn’t 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 the

Router Link LED lights amber or green.

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

extended WiFi network.

The extender creates two new extended WiFi networks. The

extender’s new WiFi network names are based on your existing WiFi

network name, with _2GEXT and _5GEXT at the end of the name.

For example:

• Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName

• New extended WiFi network names. MyNetworkName_2GEXT

and MyNetworkName_5GEXT

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 Device Link LED on the extender:

• If the Device 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 Device 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 Device Link LED turns solid green or

amber.
