AC750 WiFi Range Extender
When to Use Your Extender
NETGEAR recommends that you connect to the extender only when your WiFi network
connection is poor. Data traffic routed through the extender is inherently slower than traffic
routed directly from the network.
How the Extender Works
The extender increases the distance of a WiFi network. The extender can connect to your
network’s WiFi signal and then boost that signal or it can connect to your network with a
wired connection and work as an access point. You use the Access Point/Extender switch on
the side of the extender to select which way you want to use the extender.
Use as a WiFi Range Extender
This is the most common way to use the extender. The extender connects to your existing
network’s WiFi signal and it rebroadcasts two extender WiFi signals, one in the 2.4 GHz
band, and another in the 5 GHz band. When you are too far away to connect to your
network’s WiFi signal, you can connect to an extender WiFi signal instead.
Existing WiFi
Sometimes your router
does not provide the WiFi
coverage you need.
