How To Setup Netgear WiFi Extender?

Your WiFi drops out of coverage in certain parts of your house or office? Installing a Netgear WiFi extender is one of the easiest solutions. In no time, and following the steps below, you can successfully extend your network's reach. 

1. Set up your Netgear extender. 

The first thing to do is to plug your Netgear WiFi extender into a power outlet near to your router. Wait for the Power LED to turn solid green.

2. Connect the extender.  

Go to the WiFi settings on your laptop, mobile, or any other WiFi enabled device and select the default network name of the extender. It is usually denoted as “NETGEAR_EXT”.

3. Visit the configuration page. 

After you’ve connected, open a web browser and type www.mywifiext.net into the address bar. This will bring up the setup page for Netgear Extender. If you cannot access www.mywifiext.net try the default IP of the extender.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions

The setup wizard will help and guide you step by step in the process. You will choose the name of the extended network, choose your existing WiFi, and supply its password.

5. Put Your Extender in Place

Set the Extender up, then disconnect it and place it halfway between your router and the area where the signal is weak. Make sure it’s still close enough to your router.

6. Reconnect Your Devices

At the end, reconnect all your devices to the expanded network. Test your internet speed to confirm the setup has improved coverage. Tip: Your extender should not be near electrical interference or thick walls. If www mywifiext net won’t load, try getting a new device or clearing your browser’s cache. The Netgear Extender Setup page is always available to return and configure. Following these instructions will ensure that your whole property has stronger, more reliable WiFi.
