Getting Started
The WiFi Range Extender extends the wireless network to include the
area outside the range of your existing WiFi network. The extender
supports both desktop and wall plug placement. Follow these steps to
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. Configure the
extender and router in the same room. Once you
have verified the working connection, move the
extender to a location that is midway between
the router and your computer, and still displaying
a green link rate.
2. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet, and wait 1 minute until
the extender starts. The Power LED turns green.

Connect the Extender to an Existing
WiFi Network
To extend the range of your WiFi network, you must connect the
extender to your existing WiFi 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 WiFi network without typing the
network name and password. The WPS button is a physical
button on the WiFi 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 the web browser
setup guide
The web browser setup guide walks you through the necessary
steps to connect your extender to an existing WiFi network.
8
Connecting with WPS (Option 1)
1. Press the WPS button on back panel of the extender. The WPS
LED on the front blinks.
2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your wireless router,
gateway, or access point.
If successful, the WPS LED on your extender turns solid green,
the 2.4 GHz Link Rate LED lights up, and the extender is
connected to your existing WiFi network.
Note: If the 2.4 GHz Link Rate LED does not
turn green, repeat steps 1 and 2, or
make sure your router supports WPS.
3. If your router supports the 5 GHz band, repeat steps 1 and 2 to
connect the extender to the 5 GHz band. The 5 GHz Link Rate LED
on your extender lights up.
The extender’s wireless network name (SSID) changes to your
existing WiFi network name, with _2GEXT or _5GEXT at the end
of the name, depending on whether the extender is connecting to
your WiFi network in 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
Existing WiFi network name: MyNetworkName
New Extender network name: MyNetworkName_2GEXT
To connect additional WiFi devices to your extender network, use
the same network security key (password) as the one that is set
on your existing wireless network/wireless router.
