llow the genie steps to set up the booster to work with your network and to set up your

computer or wireless device to connect to the booster network.

These steps are explained in Use NETGEAR genie After Installation on p

Position the Booster

The best connection is established when there is a clear line of sight between the booster

and the router and between the booster and the computer or wireless device. If this straight

path is blocked by a thick wall or other materials, move the booster to a different location

half-way between the computer and the router.

If the Link Rate LED is green or amber and the PC to Booster LED is green, the booster is

working as exp

ected.

 To place the booster and apply power:

1 Place the bo

oster an equal distance between your router and the wireless device

located outside the range of your router.

2 Plug the booster into an electrical outlet, and wait 1 minute until the Status LED turns

green.

• If you have to u

se a different location, move the booster closer to the device, but still

within the wireless range of the router.

• During

installation, you can put the booster in the same room as the router. After you

complete installation, you can move the booster to a location that is halfway between

the router and your computer, and the booster is still displaying a green link rate.

 To improve the Link Rate LED from red or amber to green:

1 If the L

ink Rate LED is red, move the booster closer to the router or to a different spot

where it provides a better line of sight.
