AC1200 WiF Range Extender
Use the Extender in Extender Mode
In extender mode, the extender repeats the signals from an existing WiFi router or access
point.
Set the Access Point/Extender switch, place the extender, supply power, and connect it to
your WiFi network.
Note: You can also use the extender as a WiFi access point and create a
new WiFi hotspot by using a wired Ethernet connection. See Use the
Extender in Access Point Mode on page 15.
Place the Extender and Apply Power
To place the extender and apply power:
1. Set the Access Point/Extender switch to Extender
.
2. Place your extender in the same room as your WiFi router
.
Proximity to the WiFi router is required only during the initial setup process.
3. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
Wait for the Power LED
to light green. This might take up to 100 seconds. If the
Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off button on the side of the extender
.
Connect to an Existing WiFi Network
To extend the range of your WiFi network, you must connect the extender to your existing
WiFi network. You can do this in one of two ways:
• Connect with WPS. For more information, see Connect With WPS on page 10.
• Connect with the NETGEAR installation assistant. For more information, see Connect
With the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on page 12.
Connect With WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join a secure WiFi network without typing the network
name and password.
Note: WPS does not support WEP network security. If you are using WEP
security, follow the instructions in Connect With the NETGEAR
Installation Assistant on page 12.
