Change the Extender IP Address

By default, the extender receives its IP address automatically from the WiFi router to which it

connects. If the WiFi router does not have a DHCP server or its DHCP server is disabled, you

can assign a static IP address to the extender.

Before you assign a static IP address, you must know the IP address range, subnet mask,

gateway IP address, and primary DNS server of your network.

CAUTION:

NETGEAR recommends that you change the IP address of the extender

only if you are technically experienced or have a technically experienced

person to help you. Incorrect configuration can prevent you from

connecting to the extender and might require you to reset the extender to

factory default settings.

 To change the IP address of the extender to a static IP address:

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 > IP Address Setup
