The Link Rate LED help you choose a spot where the extender-to-router connection is
optimal. The following tables describe how the LEDs show the quality of the connection.
LED Status
Both the Link Rate LED and the Device
to Extender Connection LED are green.
The Link Rate LED is amber and the
Device to Extender Connection LED is
green.
The Link Rate LED is red.
The Link Rate LED is off.
If the Link Rate LED is off, the extender cannot connect to the WiFi router. If the Link Rate
LED is red, the extender has a poor connection to the WiFi router.
8. If the extender has no connection or a poor connection, move the extender closer to your
WiFi router and try again until the Link Rate LED is green, or at least amber.
9. Use a WiFi network manager on the computer or mobile device to connect to the extender's
newly created WiFi network. The extender's default NETGEAR_EXT WiFi network name
(SSID) changes to the name of your existing WiFi network, with _EXT at the end of the
name, for example:
• Existing network name. MyNetworkName
• New extender network name. MyNetworkName_EXT
10. Select the new network and use your WiFi router password to connect.
You are now using your extended WiFi network.
Note: If your computer or mobile device cannot join the new WiFi network of
the extender, see
