Netgear WiFi range extenders are of great use if we want to extend the wireless range of our existing router all over the house without any buffering in watching videos or signal breakage. But, prior to using a Netgear WiFi range extender, we need to first set it up with our existing home WiFi router using an Ethernet cable.

We can easily set up a Netgear wireless range extender either using the WiFi-Protected setup (WPS) or the web-browser setup method. For easy configuration, WPS (WiFi-Protected Setup) is the best and for manual configuration (web-browser setup) mywifiext (local web address) is used.

Mywifiext net setup: Configuration of Netgear WiFi range extender

For new extender setup, we have to go through mywifiext.net setup page i.e. the web-browser setup. For this, we have to connect a computer or laptop to the range extender (wired or wirelessly) – open an internet browser and type mywifiext into the field of the browser's address/URL bar.

1.  To connect a computer or laptop to the Netgear WiFi range extender using a wired connection, an Ethernet cable is used. 

• 2.  To connect a computer or laptop to the Netgear wireless range extender using a WiFi connection, Netgear_Ext (default network name) is used.
