How the Extender Works
The Extender works like a bridge between a wireless router and a computer or wireless
device outside the wireless router’s range. To do this, the Extender has two main jobs:
1. The Extender connects to a wireless network that is up and running.
When the Extender connects wirelessly to a network, it acts as a network client. This is
similar to how a computer connects to a network.
2. The Extender acts a
s an access point for computers.
Getting Started
5
EX6100 Universal Dual Band 11ac WiFi Range Extender
The Extender has its own wireless network called NETGEAR_EXT that wireless
computers can join. In its role as an access point, the Extender performs tasks that
wireless 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.

Join the Extender WiFi Network
After you install the extender, you can join the extender WiFi network.
To join the extender network:
1. Take your computer or wireless device to the location with poor WiFi coverage.
2. Find the new extender network name (MyNetworkName_EXT).
3. Select this network and enter the same WiFi password that you use for your home network.
4. Within 2 minutes, check the arrow LEDs on the extender
• If no arrow is lit, the location is good.
• When the extender connects to a network and a client joins the extender network, an
arrow LED blinks for 2 minutes if the WiFi signal strength is weak to or from the
extender.

Note: If you are having trouble getting a good WiFi signal, try to create a
better line of sight. For example, move the router up off the floor onto
a table or desk, or move furniture that might be blocking the
extender.
Extender Performance
The Router Link LED indicates performance between the router and the extender. If
this LED is off, the Extender is not connected to a WiFi network.
The Client Link LED indicates the performance between the extender and the client. If
this LED is off, no computer or wireless device is connected to the extender network.
These LEDs display the following colors:
•

Internet Connection Options (WiFi or RJ45)
You can bring the extender with you when you travel. The extender supports both WiFi and
RJ45 cable connections, for flexibility in hotels or WiFi hotspots such as coffee shops. The
switch on the side of the extender specifies which connection you want to use.

To use the extender WiFi Internet access when traveling:
1. Get the password if the hotspot or hotel requires a password for Internet access.
2. Log in to the extender
3. Select the WiFi network that you want the extender to join.
4. If prompted, enter the password for Internet access.
5. Leave the Extender WiFi network name the same (do not change it).
Using the same WiFi network name saves time. Since your laptop and WiFi devices have
connected to the extender WiFi network before, you do not have to change their settings.
6. With your laptop or wireless device, join the extender Wifi network.

Do not use an Ethernet cable to connect the Extender to a router. If you do so, the Extender
does not work.
You can use the Ethernet port to connect a computer to the extender during setup, or you
can connect equipment such as a computer, TV, Blu-ray player, or gaming console to the
Ethernet port.

New Extender WiFi Network Name
The first time the extender connects to a WiFi network, the Extender WiFi network name (SSID)
changes to that network name, with _EXT at the end. For example:
WiFi network name: MyNetworkName
Extender network name: MyNetworkName_EXT
If the extender does not connect to the WiFi network, move the extender to a different
location with a better WiFi signal. For example, you might need to move it closer to the router
or gateway.
Wireless Settings
You can use the Wireless Settings screen to change the network name (SSID) for the
Extender’s network and to set up wireless security. If you do not change these settings, the
network name is NETGEAR_EXT, and the network is open (no wireless security is set up).
Note: If you use a wireless computer to change the extender’s wireless
settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. To
reconnect, you have to select the new network name that you
created, and enter its passphrase or wireless security key.

2. In the Name (SSID) field, you can type in a new name to customize your extender network.
This will make it easier to identify your extender if more than one is operating in your
neighborhood.
3. In the Security Options section of the screen, select the type of wireless security that you
want to use on your network.
• None. This is an open wireless network. Any wireless computer or device is allowed
to join this network.
• WEP. WEP is an older standard, and is less secure than WPA or WPA2. WEP uses
encryption keys and data encryption for data security . You can select 64-bit or 128-bit
encryption.
• WP A-PSK [TKIP]. WP A is more secure than WEP. When using wireless computers or
devices that support WP
A, you can enter a passphrase to join the extender’s wireless
network.
• WPA2-PSK [AES]. WP
A2 is even more secure, but some older computers do not
support this standard. When using wireless computers or devices that support WP A2,
you can enter the passphrase to join the extender’s wireless network.
• WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PASK [AES]. When using wireless computers or devices
that support either WP
A or WP A2, you can enter the passphrase to join the extender’s
wireless network.

IP Address Setup
From the Extender menu at http://www.mywifiext.net, under the Maintenance heading, select
Setup > IP Address Settings.
The IP Address Setup screen shows whether the Extender is set to get its IP address
dynamically from the router (this is the most common setting), or is set up with a static IP
address.
• Get Dynamically IP Address From Router.
The wireless network router assigns an IP
address when the Extender connects to its wireless network. Most networks are set up so
that the router automatically does this.
• Use Static IP Address.
Specify a static IP address. This is not usually necessary. If you
set this up, you should be technically experienced or have a technically experienced
person help you.
