Smart Wizard FAQs
1.When I connect to the network, Smart Wizard keeps asking me for my passphrase, and I am sure I’ve entered the correct passphrase. What can I do?
It is very likely that the Extender is placed at the borderline of the range covered by the router. See Positioning Your Extender on page 7.
2.I got an error message in the Review Settings screen in the Smart Wizard. What should I do?
Make sure that your computer is connected to the Extender by using the SSID and the passphrase that you have just set up, and clicking the Refresh button in your browser. This will return you to the Smart Wizard.
3.I connected to NETGEAR_EXT and launched a browser, but why can’t I see the Smart Wizard?
•Make sure that your computer is set up to use DHCP. If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, you have to change the settings back so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
•Make sure the PC to Extender Connection LED is green.
•Relaunch the browser and enter www.mywifiext.net.
•Check to make sure that your computer has an IP address in the IP Address screen (see Extender IP Address Setup on page 18).
Connecting to http://www.mywifiext.net
If you have trouble connecting, try to locate the source of the problem:
•For help with passwords, see Log In to the Extender on page 8.
•If your browser displays an error page, make sure that you include http:// when you type this URL in the address field of your Internet browser. If you leave it out, you might not be able to connect.
•The Extender LEDs can help you tell if the extender is correctly set up and working as it should.
