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
In extender mode, the extender repeats the signals from an existing WiFi
router or access point.
Set the Access Point/Extender switch, place the extender, apply power,
and connect it to your WiFi network.
Set the Access Point/Extender Switch
To use the extender in extender mode, set the Access Point/Extender
switch to Extender .
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.
Wait for the Power LED to light green. This might take up to 60
seconds. If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off
button on the side of 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 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.
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 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
8. On your client device, such as a computer or WiFi device, find and
connect to a new extender WiFi network.
The extender creates two new extender 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 extender WiFi network names. MyNetworkName_2GEXT
and MyNetworkName_5GEXT
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.
9. Test the new extender WiFi network’s WiFi range by moving your
client device to the area with a poor router WiFi signal:
a. Leave your client 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 new
extender 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 new extender WiFi network
does not reach the area with a poor router WiFi signal.
You must move your client 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 your client device, such as a computer
or WiFi device, to find and connect to the NETGEAR_EXT (SSID) WiFi
network.
After the connection with your client device is established, the Client
Link LED lights.

Networks or the 5GHz WiFi Networks checkbox.
8. In the Password (network key) field, type the existing WiFi network
password (also called 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 new extender WiFi networks,
which might take up to one minute.
10. Connect your client device to the new extender WiFi network using
the extender SSID and password that you created in Step 9.
11. Make sure that your client device is successfully connected before you
click the Continue button.
12. Click the Continue button.
A message displays confirming that the extender is connected to the
new extender WiFi network.
