Netgear Support present how to setup Netgear Wifi Range Extender using the netgear smart wizard using mywifiext website.
For the Netgear wifi extender setup, you need several things ready. The Netgear extender ac750 and the router, a tablet or laptop, and an Ethernet cable in case you don’t want to set up over wifi.
NETGEAR Nighthawk® App
There are several ways through which you can set up this wifi range extender without much trouble.
1. One of these ways is through the Nighthawk app. This is a mobile application that has been designed to guide you through the setup process. It is easy to use and has some illustrations which are easy to follow. It is officially known as The NETGEAR Nighthawk® App. You can download it for both the android and IoS versions in the respective app stores. I would highly recommend you set up your ac750 using the app. Even though we shall look at other methods, this is the most user friendly.
2. Once you download the app, make sure your mobile device is connected to the same network that you want the range expander to extend. Once you do this, the app takes over and intuitively guides you through the rest of the process. The app helps you view all the devices connected to the extender as well as other network management tools.
3. The other setup procedure is where you do it without the help of the app and the WPS button. Here, you’ll need to first have the wifi range extender somewhere close to the router, preferably in the same room. You’ll then have to connect the extender with the router through the WPS button. The WPS button is found on the side of the netgear extender.
Extender Setup through the Web Browser option
Alternatively, you can connect the Netgear wifi extender through the Ethernet port to a laptop or a tablet. Make sure these devices are connected to the network through the router.
Once you have done either of these two steps, you’ll then log in to the software that the device will prompt on your computer. This is browser-based software. The login credentials will be found in the install guide. Log in to www.mywifiext_net. This is the browser-based setup page. Then click on New Extender Setup.
The next step will be to perform a scan of nearby wireless networks using the Extender setup menu. You’ll then choose the network you want the device to extend. You’ll need to input the password of the wireless network to continue. This prevents unscrupulous people from stealing wireless networks and extending them to their own homes. It is comforting to know that your network will be protected from intruders as well.
Once you input the password, the browser-based software will continue with the rest of the process of installing the same security credentials as your router to the wifi range extender. It will copy other settings you may have defined in your router as well. This means that your wireless network will continue to behave as normal even with some devices accessing the internet through the range extender. If there are controls, restrictions, speed limits, etc., these will be copied through this setup process.
The Netgear extender ac750 is a dual-band device. This is a bit technical but means that it extends both the 2.4GHz and 5 GHz, wireless bands.
Extender Placement
For people with basic networking skills, there are some other settings you can play with to optimize your network performance. However, even people with no such skills will find the process simple. At this stage, the setup is complete, and you can move the extender to the desired location.
Unlike many extenders in the market, the Netgear extender ac750 has an intuitive setup process. Many users become frustrated when they are unable to complete the setup process with some extender. The setup process is very important as you cannot use the device if you do not successfully complete it.
Once the setup Netgear is complete, the next challenge is determining the optimum position to place your ac750 extender to increase wireless coverage. The best position to place the Netgear ac750 extender is halfway between the router and the dead zone you want to cover. This enables the router to receive strong network signals from the router then repeat them to the dead zones.
