AC1900 WiFi Mesh Extender Essentials Edition
Use the Extender in Extender Mode
The extender repeats signals from an existing WiFi router or access point. Place the
extender, apply power, and connect the extender 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 14.
Place the Extender and Apply Power
To place the extender and apply power:
1. Set the Access Point/Extender switch
to the Extender position.
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.
4. Wait for the Power LED to light green.
If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off button on 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.
