Hardware Features

Figure 1. Extender

The LEDs on the front show how the Extender is working:

•Ethernet port. You can use this for a wired connection to a computer or other device.

How the Extender Works

The Extender works like a bridge between a wireless router and a computer or wireless

device outside the wireless router’s range. To do this, the Extender has two main jobs:

1. The Extender connects to a wireless network that is up and running.

When the Extender connects wirelessly to a network, it acts as a network client. This is

similar to how a computer connects to a network.

2. The Extender acts as an access point for computers.

The Extender has its own wireless network called NETGEAR_EXT that wireless

computers can join. In its role as an access point, the Extender performs tasks that

wireless routers do, such as broadcasting its network name (SSID).

The Extender must do each of these jobs so that both ends of the bridge are in place.

Getting Started

When you install the extender and join the extender network, the arrow LEDs guide you to

the best location to plug in the extender. If no arrow is lit, the location is good.

Blinking left arrow. The extender is too far away from the router or gateway.

Blinking right arrow. The extender is too far away from your computer or wireless

device.

Join the Extender WiFi Network

After you install the extender, you can join the extender WiFi network.

To join the extender network:

1. Take your computer or wireless device to the location with poor WiFi coverage.

2. Find the new extender network name (MyNetworkName_EXT).

3. Select this network and enter the same WiFi password that you use for your home network.

4. Within 2 minutes, check the arrow LEDs on the extender.

•If no arrow is lit, the location is good.

•When the extender connects to a network and a client joins the extender network, an

arrow LED blinks for 2 minutes if the WiFi signal strength is weak to or from the

extender.

Blinking left arrow. The extender is too far away from the router or gateway.

Blinking right arrow. The extender is too far away from your computer or

wireless device.

Note: If you are having trouble getting a good WiFi signal, try to create a

better line of sight. For example, move the router up off the floor onto

a table or desk, or move furniture that might be blocking the

extender.

Extender Performance

The Router Link LED indicates performance between the router and the extender. If

this LED is off, the Extender is not connected to a WiFi network.

The Client Link LED indicates the performance between the extender and the client. If

this LED is off, no computer or wireless device is connected to the extender network.

These LEDs display the following colors:

•Green indicates the best performance.

•Amber indicates a workable performance.

•Red indicates a poor connection or no connection.

Internet Connection Options (WiFi or RJ45)

You can bring the extender with you when you travel. The extender supports both WiFi and

RJ45 cable connections, for flexibility in hotels or WiFi hotspots such as coffee shops. The

switch on the side of the extender specifies which connection you want to use.

WiFi Internet Connection Away from Home

To use the extender WiFi Internet access when traveling:

1. Get the password if the hotspot or hotel requires a password for Internet access.

2. Log in to the extender.

3. Select the WiFi network that you want the extender to join.

4. If prompted, enter the password for Internet access.

5. Leave the Extender WiFi network name the same (do not change it).

Using the same WiFi network name saves time. Since your laptop and WiFi devices have

connected to the extender WiFi network before, you do not have to change their settings.

6. With your laptop or wireless device, join the extender Wifi network.

RJ45 Internet Connection

To use the extender as an access point:

1. Set the Internet switch on the side of the extender to RJ45.

2. Place the Extender and power it on.

3. Connect the Extender toyour router or gateway using RJ45 cable.

The Extender broadcasts its WiFi network name.

4. Join the Extender Wifi network.
