Buttons
The side panel contains the following buttons:
Reset button. Pressing the Reset button for about five seconds resets the extender.
WPS button. Pressing the WPS button let's the extender connect to your existing WiFi network through
WPS.You can also connect WPS-enabled devices to the extender using the WPS button.
Power button. Pressing the Power button turn the extender on or off.
When to Use Your Extender
NETGEAR recommends that you connect through the extender network only when the WiFi device is in a
“dead zone” where connection from the existing network is poor or nonexistent. Data traffic routed through
the extender is inherently slower than traffic routed directly from the network.
How the Extender Works
The extender works like a bridge between a WiFi router (or a WiFi access point) and a WiFi device outside
the range of the WiFi router.The extender performs two main jobs:
The extender connects to a working WiFi network.
When the extender connects over WiFi to an existing network, it functions as a network client, similar
to how a WiFi device connects to a network.
The extender acts as an access point for WiFi devices.
The extender broadcasts its own WiFi network that WiFi devices can join. In its role as an access point,
the extender performs tasks that WiFi routers do, such as broadcasting its network name (SSID).
Overview

AC1200 WiFi Range Extender
The extender must do each of these jobs so that both ends of the bridge are in place.

Install the WiFi Extender
Place the extender, apply power, and connect the extender to your WiFi network.
Place the Extender and Apply Power
To place the extender and apply power:
1. Place your extender in the same room as your WiFi router.
Proximity to the WiFi router is required only during the initial setup process.
2. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
3. Wait for the Power LED to light amber and then turn green.
If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off button on the side of the extender.
Connect to an Existing WiFi Network
To extend the range of your WiFi network, you must connect the extender to your existing WiFi network.
You can do this in one of two ways:
Connect with WPS. For more information, see Connect with WPS on page 10.
Connect with web browser setup. For more information, see Connect with the NETGEAR Installation
Assistant on page 11.
Connect with WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join a secure WiFi network without typing the network name and
password. For help with the WPS button on your WPS-enabled device, check the instructions or online help
that came with that device. Some older equipment cannot use WPS.
WPS does not support WEP network security or a hidden SSID network. If your
existing WiFi network uses WEP security or its SSID is hidden, follow the instructions
in Connect with the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on page 11.
Note
To use WPS to connect the extender to your WiFi router:
1. Press the WPS button on the extender.
The WPS LED blinks.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router or access point.
When the extender connects to your existing WiFi network, the WPS LED on the extender lights solid
green and the Router LED lights.
If the Router Link LED does not light, try again. If it still does not light, see Connect with the NETGEAR
Installation Assistant on page 11.
3. If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band, repeat Steps 1 and 2 to connect the extender to the 5 GHz
band.

Return the Extender To Its Factory Default Settings
Under some circumstances (for example, if you lose track of the changes that you made to the extender
settings), you might want to erase the configuration and reset the extender to factory default settings.
To reset the extender to factory default settings, you can either use the Factory Reset button on the side
panel or log in to the extender and reset it.
Use the Reset Button
CAUTION:
This process erases any settings that you configured in the extender.
To use the Reset button to return the extender to its factory default settings:
1. Insert a straightened paper clip into the hole of the Reset button and hold it for about seven seconds.
2. Release the button.
CAUTION:
Do not try to go online, turn off the extender, shut down the computer, or
do anything else to the extender until it finishes restarting!
The extender resets and restarts.This process takes about one minute.
Log In and Reset the Extender to Factory Settings
CAUTION:
This process erases any settings that you configured in the extender.
To log in to the extender and reset the extender's factory settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your extender network.
2. Log in to your extender:
If your extender and router use different WiFi network names (SSIDs), enter www.mywifiext.net.
If your extender and router use the same WiFi network name (SSID), enter http://<extender’s IP
address> (for example, http://192.168.1.3).
For more information about how to find your extender's IP address, see Find Extender's IP Address
on page 40.
