To Setup Netgear WiFi Extender, You need to follow the below process.
- If your extender has an Access Point/Extender switch, set it to Extender.
- Plug in your extender in the same room as your router.
You can move the extender after completing its setup. - Wait for the Power LED to stop blinking and become solid green or blue.
This might take 1 to 2 minutes.
If the Power LED does not light up, press the Power or On/Off button. - Press the
(WPS) button on your extender.
The WPS LED blinks. - While the WPS LED is blinking, press the WPS button on your router within 2 minutes.
The extender WPS LED turns solid green or blue. This might take up to 2 minutes after both WPS buttons have been pressed.
If the WPS LED does not turn solid green or blue, repeat Step 5. - Wait for the
(Router) LED to turn solid green or blue.
This means that the extender is connected to your network. - Unplug the extender and move it to a new location that is approximately halfway between your router and the area with a poor WiFi signal.
Make sure all LEDs have stopped blinking before unplugging. - Plug in the extender and wait for the Power and Router LEDs light solid green or blue.
This might take up to 4 minutes. - Connect your computer or mobile device to the extender’s network.
Depending on your specific extender, the extended network name (SSID) is one of the following:- The same as your original network: YourNetworkName
- The same as your original network but with _EXT added: YourNetworkName_EXT
- The same as your original network with _2GEXT or _5GEXT added: YourNetworkName_2GEXT, YourNetworkName_5GEXT
