Quick Start

N600 WiFi Range Extender

Model WN2500RPv2

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

The extender repeats the signals from an existing WiFi router or access

point.

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 initial setup.

2. Connect the extender power adapter and plug it into an electrical

outlet.

Wait for the Power LED to light green.

3. If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off 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 the NETGEAR Installation Assistant 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.

Note: WPS does not support WEP network security. If you use WEP,

follow the instructions in Connect the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on

page 8.

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 and the 2.4 GHz Link

LED lights.

If the 2.4 GHz Link LED does not light, try again. If it still does not

light, see Connect the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on page 8.

3. If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band, repeats 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.

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

existing WiFi router network.

5. Connect the extender power adapter, plug it into an electrical outlet,

and wait for the Power LED to light green.

6. Use the 2.4 GHz Link LED and the 5 GHz Link LED to help you

choose a spot where the extender-to-router connection is optimal.

7. If the 2.4 GHz Link LED does not 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 this

LED lights amber or green.

8. On your computer or WiFi-enabled device, open the WiFi connection

manager and locate and connect to the new extended 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 extended WiFi network names. MyNetworkName_2GEXT

and MyNetworkName_5GEXT.

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

DO DON’T

9. Test the new extended WiFi range by moving your WiFi-enabled

device to the area with a poor router WiFi signal:

a. Leave your WiFi-enabled 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 extended

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 extended WiFi network

does not reach the area with a poor router WiFi signal.

You must move your WiFi-enabled device closer to the

extender until the Client Link LED turns solid green or amber.

Connect With the NETGEAR Installation Assistant

1. Connect your device to the extender using a wired Ethernet or WiFi

connection:

• To connect with a wired Ethernet connection, use an Ethernet

cable to connect an Ethernet port on the extender to an Ethernet

port on your computer.

• To connect with WiFi, on your WiFi-enabled device, open the

WiFi connection manager and locate and connect to the extender

network called NETGEAR_EXT.

Aer the connection with your WiFi-enabled device is established, the

Client Link LED lights.

2. Launch a web browser.

3. Enter www.mywifiext.net in the address field of the browser.

The New Extender Setup page displays.

4. Click the NEW EXTENDER SETUP button.

The Create Account page displays.

5. Complete the fields on the page to set up your login credentials and

click the NEXT button.

6. Click the WIFI RANGE EXTENDER button.

The extender searches for WiFi networks and displays a list.

7. Select a WiFi network to extend and click the NEXT button.

If you do not want to extend both WiFi bands, clear the 2.4 GHz WiFi

Networks or 5 GHz WiFi Networks check box.

8. In the Password (Network Key) field, type the existing WiFi

network password (also called the 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.

Note: We recommend that you use a network name (SSID) for your

extender that is dierent from the network name (SSID) that your

router uses.

Wait for the page to display a list of available extended WiFi networks,

which might take up to one minute.

10. Connect your WiFi-enabled device to the new extender WiFi network

using the extender SSID and password that you created in Step 10.

11. Make sure that your computer or WiFi device is connected before you

click the Continue button.

12. Click the Continue button.

A message displays conﬁrming that the extender is connected and

ready.

13. Make sure that you can connect to the Internet and then click the

Next button.

The registration page displays.

14. Complete the registration fields and click the Finish button to

complete the setup.

If you do not want to register your extender, click the Skip

Registration link. Note that you must register your extender before

you can use NETGEAR telephone support.

The Status page displays.

15. 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.
