In the following sections, I will guide you through the steps through which you could do your own Netgear Extender Setup with your router without any hassle. But first, let me tell you a little about the necessity of the NETGEAR Extender.

Why Netgear Extender?

There could be some unusual instances when you are not getting the Wifi speed that you have signed up for. And there could be several reasons for that. But the most common one is that your Wifi router is not sending the Wifi signals that well.

The NETGEAR Extender amplifies the Wifi signal and makes it strong enough that it reaches up to every corner of your home, regardless of how far you are from your Wifi router. Thus, the NETGEAR Extender helps you to stream HD videos, play HD games, and do many other fun things in every corner of your house. 

How to do a Netgear Extender Setup

The following are the go-through steps to perform a Netgear Extender Setup:

• The very first step is to plugin the NETGEAR Extender and connects it to your computer.

• Second, you have to select the list of networks from the extender’s SSID.

• Now open it in your web browser.

• Select the option ‘New Extender Setup’

• Now you’ll be asked what kind of security questions you want. Select your choice of questions and fill in the respective answers.

• The next step is to tap the ‘Next’ option.

• Choose the frequency band that you want. The width of the frequency band you select will impact the speed of the internet you get. Plus, there is an option to select different SSID for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

• Here, you could opt for the option ‘Same Wifi name and password’. This enables you to log in to both your router and extender with the same Username and Password.

• Now the last step in the process is to open the Wifi settings in your smart device and connect to the extender’s SSID.
