Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR® RangeMax WiFi Range Extender
WPN824EXT. The WiFi range extender provides connection for multiple computers to the
Internet through an external broadband access device (such as a gateway/router).
Key Features
Note: For first-time installation and basic troubleshooting of your WiFi range extender,
refer to the NETGEAR RangeMax WiFi Range Extender Setup Manual.
The RangeMax WiFi Range Extender WPN824EXT is easy to use and provides features that are
described in the following sections:
• “RangeMax™ Multi-In, Multi-Out (MIMO) Technology”
• “802.11g Wireless Networking”
• “Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink”
• “Wireless Repeater Capability”
• “Quality of Service (QoS)”
• “Automatic Firmware Updates”
RangeMax™ Multi-In, Multi-Out (MIMO) Technology
NETGEAR’s RangeMax Multi-In, Multi-Out (MIMO) technology provides 10 times more
coverage than standard 802.11g alone by eliminating “dead spots” in the area of coverage where
you use your wireless computers. Your whole house or office suite now becomes a “hot spot”
without requiring any range extenders, repeaters, or external antennas. RangeMax maintains a
high speed throughout your home, not just when you are close to your WiFi range extender.
RangeMax is an advanced Smart MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology that uses seven internal
antennas. RangeMax constantly surveys your home environment for physical barriers and
interference and adjusts the wireless signal to compensate for these performance blockers.
1-1
v1.0, April 2008
RangeMax WiFi Range Extender WPN824EXT User Manual
For example, if you carry your laptop from the family room to the bedroom, RangeMax
automatically senses the change and selects from multiple possible antenna configurations to
deliver you the fastest, clearest connection so that everyone can enjoy consistently high-speed
connections, everywhere in your house, with no drop-outs and no dead spots.
RangeMax is also 100 percent compatible with your existing 802.11b/g products (for example,
802.11b, 802.11g, Centrino, and SuperG™ wireless clients) and boosts their range and speed by up
to 50 percent.
802.11g Wireless Networking
The WiFi range extender acts as an 802.11g wireless access point, providing continuous, highspeed 108 Mbps access between your wireless and Ethernet devices. The extender provides the
folowing functions:
• 802.11g wireless networking at up to 108 Mbps.
• 802.11g wireless networking, with the ability to operate in 802.11g-only, 802.11b-only, or
802.11g and b modes, providing backwards compatibility with 802.11b devices or dedicating
the wireless network to the higher-bandwidth 802.11g devices.
• 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption security.
• WEP keys that can be generated manually or by passphrase.
• WPA-PSK support. Support for Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption, which
provides strong data encryption and authentication based on a pre-shared key.
• Wireless access that can be restricted by MAC address.
• Wireless network name broadcast that can be turned off so that only devices that have the
network name (SSID) can connect.
Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink
The WiFi range extender can connect to a standard Ethernet network. The LAN interface is
autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
TM
The WiFi range extender incorporates Auto Uplink
senses whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a normal connection, such as
to a computer, or an uplink connection, such as to a switch or hub. That port then configures itself
to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables,
as Auto Uplink accommodates either type of cable to make the right connection.

technology. The Ethernet port automatically

RangeMax WiFi Range Extender WPN824EXT User Manual
Wireless Repeater Capability
The WiFi range extender is configurable as a base or repeater station in order to extend range. This
allows you to use it with wireless access points (APs) to build large bridged wireless networks. For
more information, see “Wireless Repeating Function” on page 4-1.
Quality of Service (QoS)
Built-in Quality of Service (QoS) ensures prioritization of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and
gaming traffic. For more information, see “QoS Setup” on page 4-6.
Automatic Firmware Updates
The WiFi range extender is automatically updated with the latest router firmware during
installation and at login. For more information, see “Using Automatic Firmware Update upon
Login” on page 1-6 and “Firmware Update” on page 3-11.
Compatible and Related NETGEAR Products
NETGEAR products related to the RangeMax WiFi Range Extender WPN824EXT are as follows:
• RangeMax Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter (WPN111)
• RangeMax Wireless PCI Adapter (WPN311)
• RangeMax Wireless PC Card (WPN511)
Performance, Placement, and Range Guidelines
You should select the physical placement of your WiFi range extender to maximize the network
speed. The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on
the physical placement of the WiFi range extender. The latency, data throughput performance, and
notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration
choices.
Introduction 1-3
v1.0, April 2008
RangeMax WiFi Range Extender WPN824EXT User Manual
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance
degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the WiFi range extender. For
complete range and performance specifications, see Appendix A, “Technical
Specifications.”
For best results, place your WiFi range extender:
• Near the center of the area in which your computers will operate.
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected computers have
line-of-sight access (even if through walls).
• Away from sources of interference, such as computers, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless
phones.
• Away from large metal surfaces.
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP and
WPA-PSK \encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.
When used on a metallic surface, MIMO units must be oriented vertically to ensure proper
operation:
