To use the NETGEAR installation assistant to connect the extender to your WiFi
router:
1. Make sure that your computer or mobile device is set up to obtain an IP address
automatically from a DHCP server.
2. Connect a computer or mobile device to the extender using a WiFi or Ethernet
connection:
• WiFi. On your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device, open the WiFi connection
manager and locate and connect to the extender network called NETGEAR_EXT.
When your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is connected to the extender,
the Client LED lights solid green.
• Ethernet. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port on your extender
to an Ethernet port on your computer.
3. Launch web browser.
4. Enter http://www.mywifiext.net.
The NETGEAR installation assistant displays.
5. Follow the prompts to connect your extender to your existing WiFi network.
6. When you're done with the installation, Unplug the extender and move it to a new
location about halfway between your router and the area with a poor WiFi signal.
The location that you choose must be within the range of your existing WiFi router
network.
7. Use the Router Link LED to help you choose a spot where the extender-to-router
connection is optimal.
8. If the Router Link LED doesn't light amber or green, move the extender closer to the
router and try again.
Keep moving the extender closer to the router until the Router Link LED lights amber
or green.
9. Reconnect your computer or mobile device to the new extender WiFi network.
