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.

Use the Extender in Extender Mode
In extender mode, the extender repeats the signals from an existing WiFi
router or access point. Place the extender, supply power, and connect it to
your WiFi network.
Place the Extender and Supply Power
1. Place your extender in the same room as your WiFi router.
Proximity to the WiFi router is required only during the initial setup
process.
2. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
Wait for the Power LED to light green.
3. If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off button on
the extender.
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 the NETGEAR installation assistant. For more
information, see Connect With the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on
page 9.

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 the NETGEAR Installation
Assistant on page 9.
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.
When the extender connects to your existing WiFi network, the WPS
LED on the extender lights solid green and the Router Link LED lights.
If the Router Link LED does not light, try again. If it still does not light,
see Connect With the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on page 9.
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. Unplug the extender and move it to a new location that is about
halfway between your router and the area with a poor router WiFi
signal.
The location that you choose must be within the range of your
existing WiFi router network.

5. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet and wait for the Power LED
to light green.
6. Use the Router Link LED on the front panel to help you choose a spot
where the extender-to-router connection is optimal.
7. If the Router Link LED doesn’t light amber or green, plug the extender
into an outlet closer to the router and try again.
Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router until the
Router Link LED lights amber or green.
8. On your computer or WiFi device, find and connect to the new
extended WiFi network.
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
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.

9. Test the extended WiFi range by moving your computer or WiFi device
to the area with a poor router WiFi signal:
a. Leave your computer or WiFi device in the area with a poor router
WiFi signal and return to the extender.
b. Check the Device Link LED on the extender:
• If the Device Link LED is solid green or amber, your extended
WiFi network reaches the area with a poor router WiFi signal
and your network setup is complete.
• If the Device Link LED is red, your extended WiFi network
does not reach the area with a poor router WiFi signal.
You must move the computer or WiFi device closer to the
extender until the Device Link LED turns solid green or
amber.
