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
In extender mode, the extender repeats the signals from an existing WiFi
router or access point. Place the extender, apply power, and connect it to
your WiFi network.
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 the initial setup
process.
2. Connect the power adapter to the extender and plug the power
adapter into an electrical outlet.
3. Wait for the Status LED to light green.
4. If the Status 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 with Web Browser Setup 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 are using WEP
security, follow the instructions in Connect with Web Browser Setup 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.
When the extender connects to your existing WiFi network, the
Router Link LED lights. If the Router Link LED does not light, try again.
If it still does not light, see Connect with Web Browser Setup on
page 8.

3. Unplug the power adapter and move the extender 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.
4. Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet and wait for the
Status LED to light green.
5. Use the Router Link LED on the front panel to help you choose a
spot where the extender-to-router connection is optimal.
6. 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.
7. On your computer or WiFi device, find and connect to the new
extended WiFi network.
The extender creates a new extended WiFi network. The extender’s
new WiFi network names are based on your existing WiFi network
name, with _EXT at the end of the name.
DO DON’T
8
For example:
• Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
• New extended WiFi network name. MyNetworkName_EXT.
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.
8. Test the extended WiFi range by moving your computer or WiFi device
to the area with a poor router WiFi signal:
a. Leave your computer or WiFi 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, 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 the computer or WiFi device closer to the
extender until the Client Link LED turns solid green.
Connect With Web Browser Setup

and connect to the extender WiFi network NETGEAR_EXT.
