N600 WiFi Range Extender

Note: Unless you entered a new network name in Step 9, the extender

changes its default NETGEAR_EXT network name to the name of the

WiFi network to which you connected the extender and adds _2GEXT

to the end of the 2.4 GHz network name and _5GEXT to the end of the

5 GHz network name.

Note: If your computer or mobile device cannot join the new WiFi network of

the extender, see Improve the Connection Between the Extender and

the WiFi Router on page 83.

12. Select the My wireless devices are connected to the Extender network check box, and

click the Continue button.

Smart Setup describes the color of the Link Rate LED on the front of the extender.

Because you placed the extender close the WiFi router

, the Link Rate LED is green.

13. Click the Finish button.

A pop-up screen displays.

Connect Ethernet-Enabled Devices

You can use the extender to connect as many as four Ethernet-enabled devices, such as

smart TVs, game consoles, and Blu-ray players, to the WiFi network.

After you have set up the extender, plug the Ethernet cable from a device that you want to

connect directly into one of the extender’s Ethernet LAN ports.

By default, the Ethernet ports connect to the 2.4 GHz WiFi band. For information about how

to change the connection to the 5 GHz WiFi band, see Manage the Extender WiFi Settings on

page 43.
