Once the extender will switch on, its power light will start flashing. In case, it does not, then press the button again or try after plugging it to a new wall outlet. 

Connect your extender with Computer/Mobile – After that, an established connection is required to be built between your computing or mobile device and your Netgear range extender. To do so, you have the choice between wired connection and wireless connection. The default SSID with which you need to connect on opting for wireless connection is “Netgear_EXT”. However, the wired method just needs the connection via USB cable.

Move to Mywifiext window – Following this, you have to run any of the web browsers that you generally use. Click on its icon and the primary screen of the browser will turn up. Next, you have to invade the web address of the Netgear Extender setup window. The URL/web address for the same is “mywifiext”.

Select the network to extend – Once you are done with the sign-in, the Netgear installation Assistance window will start searching for the nearby network connections. The list will then turn up on your screen. You will find the networks of both 2GHz and 5GHz bandwidth. Choose the network that you want to extend and select its radio button. Then, provide the selected network security key. 

Configure the Extended connection – The next window will ask you to configure your extended network connection. For this, provide the SSID and password for your network connection. On your screen, you will find the default SSID the same as your router with “_2EXT” or “_5EXT” added to it. You can either change or leave it, as per your preference.  

Confirm the process – Once you are done configuring, you have to click “Next” and confirm the process. Netgear installation Assistance window will take a few minutes to save the settings that you made. Wait for its completion.
