When to Use Your Extender

NETGEAR recommends that you connect through the extender network only when the WiFi
device is in a "dead zone" where connection from the existing network is poor or nonexistent.
Data traffic routed through the extender is inherently slower than traffic routed directly from
the network.

How the Extender Works

The extender works like a bridge between a WiFi router (or a WiFi access point) and a WiFi
device outside the range of the WiFi router. The extender performs two main jobs:
• The extender connects to a working WiFi network.
When the extender connects over WiFi to an existing network, it functions as a network
client, similar to how a WiFi device connects to a network.
• The extender acts as an access point for WiFi devices.
