A WiFi range extender, also known as a WiFi booster or WiFi repeater, is a device that increases the range of a wireless network. It works by receiving WiFi signals from a router and re-transmitting the data to wireless devices that may have difficulty connecting directly to the router.
WiFi range extenders are often used in larger homes or spaces with reduced coverage areas or “dead spots”. They can be useful for extending the coverage of the main wireless router in the home.
WiFi range extenders come with two adapters:
One plugs into a power socket near the router.
The other plugs into a power socket in the location where you need signal.
You can connect the first adapter to the router using an ethernet cable. You can connect the second adapter to an ethernet device, such as a Smart TV or games console.
To set up a NETGEAR WiFi range extender, you can:
- Plug in the extender.
- Connect your computer or mobile device to the extender’s WiFi network.
- Open a web browser and enter mywifiext.net or 192.168.
- Click or tap NEW EXTENDER SETUP.
- Choose your extender’s admin credentials.
You can also set up a NETGEAR WiFi range extender using the WPS method. After plugging in the extender, find the WPS button and press it. A blinking WPS light on the extender means it’s connecting with your router.
WiFi extenders are a good solution for getting additional wireless coverage in a room that’s outside of your current wireless router range. Once set up, the extender becomes an integral part of your WiFi network, working to amplify and extend the signal.
