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.

does not provide the WiFi
coverage you need.

Install the WiFi Extender
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.
Note: Proximity to the WiFi router is required only during the
initial setup process.
2. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
The Power LED lights green. If the Power LED does not
light, press the Power button.
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 7.
•Connect with the genie® web browser. For more information,
see Connect with NETGEAR genie Smart 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.
WPS does not support WEP network security. If you are using WEP
security, follow the instructions in Connect with NETGEAR genie
Smart 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.
The WPS LED on the extender lights solid green, the Router Link
LED lights, and the extender connects to your existing WiFi
network.
Note: If the Router Link LED does not light, try again. If it still
does not light, see Connect with NETGEAR genie Smart Setup
on page 8.
3. Find the new extender network name.
The extender’s wireless network name (SSID) changes to your
existing WiFi network name, with _EXT at the end of the name,
for example:
•Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
8
•New extended network name. MyNetworkName_EXT
4. Connect your WiFi devices to the new extender network.
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.
5. Unplug the extender and move it to a new location closer to the
area with a poor WiFi signal.
The location that you choose must be within the range of your
existing WiFi router network.
6. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
The Power LED lights green. If the Power LED does not
light, press the Power button.
Use the Router Link LED on the front panel to help you choose a
spot where the extender-to-router connection is optimal.
Connect with NETGEAR genie Smart Setup
1. Use a WiFi network manager on a computer or mobile device to
find and connect to the NETGEAR_EXT (SSID) WiFi network.
After the connection with the computer or mobile device is
established, the Client Link LED lights.
2. Open a web browser window from the same computer or mobile
device.
The browser takes you directly to the NETGEAR genie smart
setup.
