•
When to Use Your Extender
NETGEAR recommends that you connect through the extender network only when the
WiFi device is in a “dead zone” where connection from the existing network is poor or
nonexistent. Data traffic routed through the extender is inherently slower than traffic
routed directly from the network.
How the Extender Works
The extender works like a bridge between a WiFi router (or a WiFi access point) and a
WiFi device outside the range of the WiFi router. The extender performs two main jobs:
The extender connects to a working WiFi network.
•
User Manual7Overview
AC1200 WiFi Range Extender
When the extender connects over WiFi to an existing network, it functions as a
network client, similar to how a WiFi device connects to a network.
The extender acts as an access point for WiFi devices.
•
The extender broadcasts its own WiFi network that WiFi devices can join. In its role
as an access point, the extender performs tasks that WiFi routers do, such as
broadcasting its network name (SSID).
The extender must do each of these jobs so that both ends of the bridge are in place.

Install the WiFi Extender
Place the extender, apply power, and connect the extender to your WiFi network.
Place the Extender and Apply Power
To place the extender and apply power:
1. Place your extender in the same room as your WiFi router.
Proximity to the WiFi router is required only during the initial setup process.
2. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
3.
Wait for the Power LED to light amber and then turn green.
If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off button on the side of the
extender.
Connect to an Existing WiFi Network
To extend the range of your WiFi network, you must connect the extender to your
existing WiFi network. You can do this in one of two ways:
Connect with WPS. For more information, see Connect with WPS on page 10.
•
Connect with web browser setup. For more information, see Connect with the
•
NETGEAR Installation Assistant on page 12.
Connect with WPS Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join a secure WiFi network
without typing the network name and password. For help with the WPS button on your
WPS-enabled device, check the instructions or online help that came with that device.
Some older equipment cannot use WPS.
Note: WPS does not support WEP network security or a hidden SSID network. If your
existing WiFi network uses WEP security or its SSID is hidden, follow the instructions in
Connect with the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on page 12.
To use WPS to connect the extender to your WiFi router:
1. Press the WPS button on the extender.
The WPS LED blinks.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router.
When the extender connects to your existing WiFi network, the WPS LED on the
extender lights solid green and the Router LED lights.
User Manual10Get Started
AC1200 WiFi Range Extender
If the Router Link LED does not light, try again. If it still does not light, see Connect
with the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on page 12.
3.
If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band, repeat Steps 1 and 2 to connect the
extender to the 5 GHz band.
4.
Unplug the extender and move it to a new location that is about halfway between
your router and the area with a poor router WiFi signal.
The location that you choose must be within the range of your existing WiFi router
network.
5. Use the Router LED to help you choose a spot where the extender-to-router
connection is optimal.
6.
If the Router LED doesn’t light amber or green, plug the extender into an outlet
closer to the router and try again.
Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router until the Router LED lights
amber or green.
7.
On your computer or mobile device, find and connect to a new extender WiFi
network.
The extender creates two new extender WiFi networks. The extender’s new WiFi
network names are based on your existing WiFi network name, with _2GEXT and
_5GEXT at the end of the name.
For example:
Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
•
New extender WiFi network names. MyNetworkName_2GEXT and
•
MyNetworkName_5GEXT
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.

the area with a poor router WiFi signal:
a. Leave your computer or mobile device in the area with a poor router WiFi signal
and return to the extender.
b. Check the Device LED on the extender:
If the Device LED is solid green or amber, your new extender WiFi network
•
reaches the area with a poor router WiFi signal and your network setup is
complete.
If the Device LED is red, your new extender WiFi network does not reach the
•
area with a poor router WiFi signal.
You must move your computer or mobile device closer to the extender until
the Device LED turns solid green or amber.
Connect with the NETGEAR Installation Assistant You can use theNETGEAR
installation assistant to connect your extender to your existing WiFi router network. To
use the NETGEAR installation assistant, you must launch a web browser on your computer
or mobile device.

Boost Your Video Streaming with FastLane Technology
Get the most out of your HD entertainment with FastLane technology. With FastLane
technology, the extender connects to your router using one band and connects to your
devices using another band. Because a band is dedicated to each function, performance
is enhanced.
If all your devices and your WiFi router support only the 2.4 GHz band, or all your devices
and your WiFi router support only the 5 GHz band, do not enable FastLane Technology.

Use WPS to Add a Computer to the Extender’s WiFi Network
WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) lets you connect a computer or WiFi device to the extender’s
network without entering the WiFi network passphrase or key. Instead, you use a WPS
button or enter a PIN to connect.
If you use the push button method, the WiFi device that you are trying to connect must
include a physical button or a software button. If you use the PIN method, you must
know the PIN of the WiFi device that you are trying to connect.
WPS supports WPA and WPA2 WiFi security. If your extender network is open (no WiFi
security is set), connecting with WPS automatically sets WPA + WPA2 WiFi security on
the extender network and generates a random passphrase. You can view this passphrase
on the WiFi Settings page (for more information, see View WiFi Settings on page 29).
Use WPS with the Push Button Method
For you to use the push button method to connect a WiFi device to the extender’s WiFi
network, the WiFi device that you are trying to connect must include a physical WPS
button or an onscreen WPS button that you can click.
To use WPS to add a computer or WiFi device to the extender’s WiFi network:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
extender network.
2. Log in to your extender:

User Manual42FAQs and Troubleshooting
AC1200 WiFi Range Extender
Cannot Join a WiFi Network and Receive an Error Message
To join a WiFi network, you must know its network name (also called the SSID) so that
you can select it. If the network is secure, you must know the passphrase or key. If the
extender does not connect to the network that you select, the cause might be one of
the following:
It is possible that you typed the network name, passphrase, or key incorrectly. Use
•
Smart Setup (see Run Smart Setup Installation on page 14) to select a WiFi network
and retype the passphrase or key. The passphrase or key is case-sensitive. For
example, PASSWORD25 is not the same as Password25 or password25.
If the extender cannot detect your WiFi network, check to see if your WiFi network
•
is still working. Make sure that the WiFi router is turned on. If possible, move the
extender closer to the WiFi router.
If the extender Device Link LED is red, the WiFi connection between the WiFi router
•
and the extender is poor. You can establish the best connection with a clear line of
sight between the extender and the WiFi router. Make sure that no physical obstacles
exist between the extender and the WiFi router, and try to move the extender closer
to the WiFi router.
If you use Smart Setup, and the extender does not connect to the WiFi router, does not
connect to the Internet, or cannot get an IP address from the WiFi router, Smart Setup
displays a message to notify you that the extender is not configured.
To run Smart Setup again, click the YES button. To manually configure the extender,
click the NO, CONFIGURE MANUALLY button.
Cannot Access mywifiext.net
When you try to access www.mywifiext.net to set up your extender, you might receive
an error message that says you are not connected to the extender's WiFi network. This
