AC750 WiFi Range Extender
Install the Extender as a Range Extender
The extender connects to your network’s WiFi signal and then rebroadcasts that signal to
extend the WiFi signal coverage.
Place the Extender
NETGEAR recommends that you place the extender near the router during initial setup. Then
you can move it farther away from the router as needed to increase the area that has a WiFi
signal.
To place the extender:
1. Place your extender in the same room as your WiFi router
.
2. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
The Power LED
lights green. If the Power LED does not light, press the Power
button.
3. Make sure that the switch on the extender is set to 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 genie Smart Setup. For more information, see Connect with NETGEAR
genie Smart Setup on page 11.
Connect with WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join a secure WiFi network without typing the network
name and password. The WPS button is a physical button on the router or access point.
WPS does not support WEP network security. If you are using WEP security, see Connect
with NETGEAR genie Smart Setup on page 11.
To connect with WPS:
1. Press the WPS button on the side panel of the extender.
The WPS LED
blinks.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button
on your router or access point.
The WPS LED on the extender lights solid green, the Router Link LED
lights, and
the extender is connected to your existing WiFi network.
Note: If the Router Link LED does not light, try again. If it still does not light,
see Connect with NETGEAR genie Smart Setup on page 11.
