Netgear WiFi Extender Setup

Boost your coverage with these simple step-by-step instructions.

1

Preparation

Place the extender within range of your main router and plug it into a power outlet. Ensure your setup device (phone or PC) is connected to your current WiFi network.

2
Key Step

Access the Interface

Open a web browser and type one of the following into the address bar:

www.mywifiext.net OR www.mywifiext.com
3

Scan & Connect

Follow the on-screen wizard to scan for your main WiFi. Select your network and enter your existing WiFi password when prompted.

4

Configure Extended Network

Create your new Extended SSID (Network Name). You can keep the same name as your router or add "_EXT" to the end to distinguish it.

5

Reconnect & Test

The extender will reboot. Once the lights are solid green, connect your devices to the new extended network name you just created.
