The New Extender Setup page shows.

·        Snap or tap NEW NetGear EXTENDER SETUP.

Whenever provoked to acknowledge terms and conditions, snap or tap YES or I AGREE.

These qualifications are utilized to get to your extender's settings on an internet browser.

We suggest leaving the default User Name as administrator and picking a secret phrase that is not quite the same as your WiFi network secret word.

·        Select and answer two security inquiries starting from the drop menus.

These inquiries are utilized to recuperate your extender's administrator accreditations on the off chance that you fail to remember them.

·        Snap or tap NEXT.

On the off chance that your extender inquires as to whether you might want to utilize the NETGEAR Genie to help, snap or tap YES or CONTINUE.

Your extender looks for nearby WiFi organizations.

·        Select the radio catches for your organization's 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi Network Names (SSID).

·        Select SSIDs and passwords for your extender.

Of course, the extender utilizes the name of your current organization with _2GEXT added as far as possible for the 2.4GHz band and _5GEXT for the 5GHz band. As a matter of course, the secret word for each band is equivalent to your current organization.

·        (Discretionary) For network extenders, you have an alternative to utilize a similar WiFi name and secret word as your current organization. Select the Enable One WiFi Name check box to empower this component if your extender upholds it.

This permits your extender to utilize a similar WiFi name (SSID) and secret key as your current WiFi organization.

·        Snap or tap NEXT.

The extender applies your settings. This can require a couple of moments.

The extender shows the WiFi network name (SSID) and secret key for every one of your extender's groups. Observe these.
