Installing Your WiFi Range Extender Using the Resource CD 7

v1.0, March 2008

Installing Your WiFi Range Extender Using

the Resource CD

The setup procedure using the Resource CD takes about 15 minutes to complete. Before using the

Smart Wizard™ on the Resource CD to set up your WiFi range extender, ensure the following:

• You have a PC with Windows Vista, or Windows 2000 or Windows XP with Service Pack 2.

• You have an Internet service connection through a gateway/router.

• If you are setting up wireless security, you have the configuration information for your

existing wireless security, such as passphrase and keys, if applicable.

If you have not already done so:

• Check the package contents of your extender to ensure that it is complete.

• Select an optimum location for your WiFi range extender.

For more information, see “Unpacking Your New WiFi Range Extender” on page 1.

About the Smart Wizard

The NETGEAR Smart Wizard guides you through the procedure to set up your WiFi range

extender. Throughout the setup process, the Smart Wizard checks to ensure that steps you perform

are successfully completed.

Be prepared to perform these actions while using the Smart Wizard:

• Powering-on the WiFi range extender.

If you are replacing an existing WiFi range extender, disconnect it completely from

your network and set it aside before starting to install your new extender.

NETGEAR recommends that you use the Resource CD and the NETGEAR Smart

Wizard to set up your WiFi range extender. However, if you are a Macintosh or Linux

user, or you wish to manually configure your extender, see “Installing Your WiFi Range

Extender Manually” on page 11.
