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.
Existing WiFi
Sometimes your router
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. Connect the power adapter to the extender and plug it into an
electrical outlet.
The Power LED lights solid amber while it is booting and then
solid green when it is powered on. 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 9.
•Connect with the genie® Smart Setup. For more information,
see Connect with NETGEAR genie Smart Setup on page 11.

Connect with WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you easily 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 11.
1. Press the WPS button on the extender.
The WPS LED blinks.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router or access
point.
The WPS LED and the 2.4 GHz Link Rate LED on your extender
light solid green, and the extender connects to your existing WiFi
network.
Note: If the 2.4 GHz Link Rate LED does not light, or the LED is
blinking amber, try again. If it still does not light, see Connect with
NETGEAR genie Smart Setup on page 11.
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 extender network name.
10
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.
For example:
•Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
•New extender network name. MyNetworkName_2GEXT
or
MyNetworkName_5GEXT
5. Connect your WiFi devices to the new extender 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 you choose must be within the range of your existing
WiFi router network.
7. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
The Power LED lights solid amber while it is booting and then
solid green when it is powered on. If the Power LED does not
light, press the Power button.
Use the Link Rate LEDs on the front panel to help you
choose a spot where the extender-to-router connection is
optimal.
