Connect the Extender to an Existing
WiFi Network
To extend the range of your WiFi network, you must connect the
extender to your existing WiFi network. You have two options to
connect the extender to your network.
Option 1: Connecting with WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
WPS lets you easily join a secure WiFi network without typing the
network name and password. The WPS button is a physical
button on the WiFi router, gateway, or access point.
If your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), NETGEAR
recommends that you use Option 1; otherwise, go to Option 2.
Tip: WPS does not support WEP network security.
If you are using WEP security, use Option 2
to connect.
Option 2: Connecting without WPS, using the web browser
setup guide
The web browser setup guide walks you through the necessary
steps to connect your extender to an existing WiFi network.
