N300 WiFi Range Extender

Model WN3000RPv3

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.

You can also connect the extender to your router or gateway with an

Ethernet cable and use the extender as an access point. See Install the

Extender as an Access Point on page 12.

Find the Best Location

arrow LED blinks for two minutes. If this happens, adjust the position of

the extender.

router.

• If the Client arrow blinks, move the computer or mobile device

closer to the extender.

If no arrow LEDs are lit, the extender is in a good location.
