Getting Started
The WiFi Range Extender extends the wireless network to include the
area outside the range of your existing Wi-Fi network. Follow these
steps to correctly set up the Extender.
Placing the Extender and Applying Power
1. Place the Extender an equal distance between your router and the
wireless device located outside the range of your router.
DO DON’T
Tip: If you have to use a different location, move the
Extender closer to the device, but still within the
wireless range of the router.
2. Plug the Extender into an electrical outlet, and wait 1 minute until
the Extender starts. The Power LED turns green.

Connecting the Extender to an Existing
Wi-Fi Network
To extend the range of your Wi-Fi network, you need to connect the
Extender to your existing Wi-Fi network. You have two options to
connect the Extender to your network.
Option 1: Connecting with WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
WPS lets you easily join a secure Wi-Fi network without typing
the network name and password. The WPS button is a physical
button on the Wi-Fi router, gateway, or access point.
If your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), we
recommend that you use Option 1; otherwise, go to Option 2.
Tip: WPS does not support WEP network security.
If you are using WEP security, use Option 2
to connect.
Option 2: Connecting without WPS, using the web browser
setup guide
The web browser setup guide walks you through the necessary
steps to connect your Extender to an existing Wi-Fi network.
7
Option 1: Connecting with WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
1. Press the WPS button on back panel of the Extender. The WPS
LED on the front should blink.
2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your wireless router,
gateway, or access point.
If successful, the WPS LED on your Extender turns solid green,
the 2.4 GHz Link Rate LED lights up, and the Extender should be
connected to your existing Wi-Fi network.
Note: If the 2.4 GHz Link Rate LED does not
light up, repeat steps 1 and 2, or make
sure your router supports WPS.
3. If your router supports the 5 GHz band, repeat steps 1 and 2 to
connect the Extender to the 5 GHz band. The 5 GHz Link Rate
LED on your Extender should light up.
The Extender’s wireless network name (SSID) changes to your
existing Wi-Fi network name, with _2GEXT or _5GEXT at the end
of the name, depending on whether the Extender is connecting to
your Wi-Fi network in 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
Existing Wi-Fi network name: MyNetworkName
New Extender network name: MyNetworkName_2GEXT
To connect additional Wi-Fi devices to your Extender network,
use the same network security key (password) as is set on your
existing wireless network/wireless router.
8
Option 2: Connecting with web browser setup guide
1. Once the Extender is powered on and the Power LED is
green, use a wireless network manager on a computer to find
and connect to NETGEAR_EXT (SSID) wireless network.
Tip: You can use any wireless network manager utility
on a computer or tablet to find and connect to the
Extender wireless network.
After the connection with the computer is established, the
Wireless Device to Extender LED turns green. Next, you
need to connect the Extender to your existing Wi-Fi network.
9
2. Open a web browser window from the same PC, and the browser
should take you directly to the onscreen setup guide.
Tip: You can always access the Extender settings
again by typing www.mywifiext.net in your
browser URL bar.
10
3. The web browser setup guide walks you through the following
steps:
• Selecting the Wi-Fi network you would like to extend.
• Entering the security password for the existing network.
• Choosing the name for your new Extender network.
• Connecting your wireless devices to your new Extender
network.
Extender Configuration Settings
If you want to make changes after initial setup, or you wish to run the
setup again, you can always access the Extender configuration
settings again by typing www.mywifiext.net in your device’s browser
address. When prompted to log in, use the following information:
