Manage the Extender Network and Security Settings

N300 WiFi Range Extender WN2000RPT

10. To verify that the WiFi device is connected to the extender’s WiFi network, select

Maintenance > Network Devices.

The WiFi device displays onscreen.

Manage the Extender WiFi Settings

You can change the WiFi network name (SSID) for the extender’s network and set up WiFi

security. If you did not change these settings already during initial setup, the network name is

NETGEAR_EXT, and the network is open (no WiFi security is set up).

Note: Although the WiFi security of the extender’s network can be different

from the WiFi security of the network that the extender is connected

to, you typically would select the same type of WiFi security for both

networks.

 To change the WiFi settings for the extender’s network:

1. On your computer, launch an Internet browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft

Internet Explorer

2. In the address field of your browser, enter http://www

.mywifiext.net.

You are prompted to enter a user name and password. If you do not see the login prompt,

make sure to include http:// when you type http://www.mywifiext.net in your browser

3. Type admin for the user name and type your password.

If you have not yet personalized your password, type password for the password.

4. Select Setup > Wireless Settings.

5. In the

Name (SSID) field, type a new name.

If more than one extender operates in your neighborhood, changing the SSID makes it

easier to identify the extenders.
