Getting Started

The NETGEAR WiFi Mesh 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.

router or access point.

Set the Access Point/Extender switch, place the extender, supply

power, and connect it to your WiFi network.

Set the Access Point/Extender Switch

To use the extender in extender mode, set the Access Point/Extender

switch to Extender .

Place the Extender and Supply Power

1. Place your extender in the same room as your WiFi router.

Proximity to the WiFi router is required only during the initial setup

process.

2. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.

Wait for the Power LED to light green. This might take up to

100 seconds. If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/

Off button on the side of 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 the following section.

• Connect with the NETGEAR installation assistant. For more

information, see Connect With the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on

page 9.

Connect With WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join a secure WiFi network without

selecting the network name and entering the password.

Note: WPS does not support WEP network security. If you are using WEP

security, follow the instructions in Connect With the NETGEAR Installation

Assistant on page 9.

1. Press the WPS button on 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, the Router Link LED

lights, and the extender connects to your existing WiFi network.

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

see Connect With the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on page 9.

3. If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band, repeat Steps 1 and 2 to

connect the extender to the 5 GHz band.

Note: If your router supports the 5 GHz band, your extender

attempts to connect to the router’s 5 GHz band the ﬁrst time you

press the WPS button. If your extender did not connect to the router’s

5 GHz band the ﬁrst time, repeat the WPS process.

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.

5. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet and wait for the

Power LED to light green.

6. Use the Router Link LED to help you choose a spot where the

extender-to-router connection is optimal.

7. If the Router Link LED doesn’t light amber or green, plug the extender

into an outlet closer to the router and try again.

Router Extender Computer

Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router until the

Router Link LED lights amber or green.

8. Connect your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to the WiFi

network.

Note: Your extender uses the same WiFi network settings as your

router for its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz extended networks.

For example, if your extender connects to the router’s 2.4 GHz WiFi

band, your extender uses your router’s 2.4 GHz WiFi settings for both

its networks:

• Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample

• Router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G

• Extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample

• Extended 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample

If your extender connects to the router’s 5 GHz WiFi band, your

extender uses your router’s 5 GHz WiFi settings for both its networks:

• Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample

• Router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G

• Extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G

• Extended 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G

Note: Since your router and extended networks share the same WiFi

network name, only one WiFi network name is broadcast.

Connect With the NETGEAR Installation Assistant

1. Connect your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to the

extender using a wired Ethernet or WiFi connection:

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

cable to connect the Ethernet port on the extender to an

Ethernet port on your WiFi-enabled computer.

• To connect with WiFi, on your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile

device, open the WiFi connection manager and locate and

connect to the extender network called NETGEAR_EXT.

After the connection with your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile

device is established, the Client Link LED lights.

2. Launch a web browser and visit www.mywifiext.net.

The NETGEAR installation assistant displays.

3. Follow the prompts to connect your extender to your existing WiFi

network.

4. Unplug the extender and move it to a new location about halfway

between your router and the area with a poor WiFi signal.

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

existing WiFi router network.

5. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet and wait for the

Power LED to light green.

6. Use the Router Link LED to help you choose a spot where the

extender-to-router connection is optimal.

7. If the Router Link LED doesn’t 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 the

Router Link LED lights amber or green.
