Monitor Extender Performance

The Router Link LED indicates performance between the router or gateway and the extender. If this LED is off, the extender is not connected to a WiFi network.

The Client Link LED indicates the performance between the extender and the client. If this LED is off, no computer or wireless device is connected to the extender network.

These LEDs display the following colors:

Green indicates the best performance.

Amber indicates a workable performance.

Red indicates a poor connection or no connection.

Log In to the Extender

You can log in to the extender to use the Smart Wizard or to use the menu selections to view or change the extender’s settings.

To log in to the extender:

1.On your computer, launch an Internet browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

2.In the address field of your browser, enter http://mywifiext.net. You are prompted to enter a user name and password:

If you do not see the login prompt, make sure to include http:// when you type http://mywifiext.net in your browser.

3.Type admin for the user name.

The default password is password. NETGEAR recommends that you set a more secure password after you log in (see Set the Password on page 35).

If your extender has an Internet connection, the Firmware Update screen displays (see Update the Firmware on page 36), and the software automatically checks for new firmware at the NETGEAR website.
