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.

Place the Extender and Apply Power

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.
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 Web Browser Setup on page 8.
3. If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band, repeat Steps 1 and 2 to
connect the extender to the 5 GHz band.
4. Find the new extended WiFi network name on your computer or WiFi
device.
The extender creates two new extended WiFi networks. The
extender’s new WiFi network names are based on your existing WiFi
network name, with _2GEXT and _5GEXT at the end of the name.
For example:
• Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
• New extended WiFi network names. MyNetworkName_2GEXT
and MyNetworkName_5GEXT
5. Connect your computer or WiFi device to the new extended WiFi
network.
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.
6. 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.

7. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
Wait for the Power LED to light green. If the Power LED does
not light, press the Power On/Off button.
