initial setup process.

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 7.
•Connect with the genie Smart Setup. For more information,
see Connect with NETGEAR genie Smart Setup on page 9.

Connect with WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you easily join a secure WiFi
network without typing the network name and password.
WPS does not support WEP network security. If you are using WEP
security, follow the instructions in Connect with NETGEAR genie
Smart Setup on page 9.
To connect with WPS:
1. Press the WPS button on the extender.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router or access
point.
The Link Rate LED on your extender lights, and the
extender is connected to your existing WiFi network.
Note: If the Link Rate LED does not light, try again. If it still does
not light, see Connect with NETGEAR genie Smart Setup on
page 9.

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 extender network name. MyNetworkName_EXT
4. Connect your existing WiFi devices to the new extender network
(MyNetworkName_EXT).
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 you choose must be within the range of your existing
WiFi router network.
6. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
The Status LED lights green. If the Status LED does not
light, press the Power button.
Use the Link Rate LED on the front panel to help you choose
a spot where the extender-to-router connection is optimal.
