Experience Next-Generation WiFi

Your new WiFi extender supports the 802.11ac networking

standard. This new standard offers better speed, improved

reliability, and more range than older WiFi networking standards.

Your extender is backward compatible with prior WiFi standards.

However, to get the benefits of 802.11ac, your router must

support the 802.11ac WiFi networking standard.

To learn more about the 802.11ac WiFi networking standard, visit

http://www.netgear.com/landing/80211ac/.

channels and get channel connection recommendations.

Connect Ethernet-Enabled Devices

You can use your extender to wirelessly connect as many as five

Ethernet-enabled devices, such as smart TVs, game consoles, and

speeds.

To connect a printer to your extender and enjoy wireless printing

from your laptop and other devices, use your extender’s

ReadySHARE Printer feature.

installed.

A printer driver is the software that enables your computer to

communicate with your printer.

Step 2.

If your computer does not have printer driver software already

installed, follow these steps:

a. Locate the printer driver software for your computer.

It usually comes on a CD in the box with your printer. You

can also download the latest software from your printer

manufacturer’s website.
