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.

Place the Extender and Apply 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 Status LED turns green.

Connecting the Extender to an Existing

Wi-Fi Network

To extend the range of your Wi-Fi network, you will 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 ),

NETGEAR recommends 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 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.

Option 1: Connecting with WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

1. Press the WPS button on the Extender.

2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your wireless

router, gateway, or access point.

At this point, the Extender should be connected to your existing

Wi-Fi network, and the Link Rate LED on your Extender

lights up.

3. The Extender’s wireless network name (SSID) changes to your

existing Wi-Fi network name, with _EXT at the end of the name.

For example:

Existing Wi-Fi network name: MyNetworkName

New Extender network name: MyNetworkName_EXT

4. To connect additional Wi-Fi devices to your Extender network, use

the same network security key (passphrase) as is set on your

existing wireless network/wireless router.

Option 2: Connecting with web browser setup guide

1. Once the Extender is powered on and the Status LED is

green, use a wireless network manager on a PC to find and

connect to NETGEAR_EXT (SSID) wireless network.

Tip: You can use any wireless network manager utility

on a PC or tablet to find and connect to the

Extender wireless network.

After the connection with the PC is established, the PC to

Extender LED turns green. Next, you need to connect the

Extender to your existing Wi-Fi network.

2. Open a web browser window from the same PC, and the browser

should take you directly to the on-screen setup guide.

Tip: You can always access the Extender settings

again by typing www.mywifiext.net in your

browser URL bar.

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 passphrase for the existing network.

• Choosing the name for your new Extender network.

• Connecting your wireless devices to your new Extender

network.

4. If you want to make changes after using the web browser setup

guide or you wish to run the setup guide again, use your browser to

go to www.mywifiext.net. If prompted, log in as admin with

password as the password.
