Boost Your Video Streaming - NETGEAR Nighthawk EX7000 User Manual

Boost Your Video Streaming

Get the most out of your HD entertainment with FastLane technology. With FastLane
technology, the extender connects to your router using one band and connects to your
devices using another band. Because a band is dedicated to each function, performance is
enhanced.
If all your devices and your WiFi router support only the 2.4 GHz band, or all your devices
and your WiFi router support only the 5 GHz band, do not enable FastLane Technology.
When you enable FastLane Technology, two options are available:
• Use the 2.4 GHz band to connect the extender to the WiFi devices and use the 5 GHz
band to connect the extender to the WiFi router. Use this mode if your WiFi router
supports the 5 GHz band but the devices that you want to use for gaming and streaming
support the 2.4 GHz band.
• Use the 5 GHz band to connect the extender to the WiFi devices and use the 2.4 GHz
band to connect the extender to the WiFi router. Use this mode if the devices that you
want to use for gaming and streaming support the 5 GHz band but your WiFi router
supports the 2.4 GHz band.
To activate FastLane mode:

1. On a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the extender network, launch a web
browser.
2. In the address field of your browser, enter www.mywifiext.net.
3. When prompted, enter your email address and password.
