The Extender tries to find the wireless client (the computer) that is attempting to join the network. If you are using a WPS button, it tries for 2 minutes. If you are using a PIN, it tries for 4 minutes.

3.Go to your wireless computer. Use its WPS software to try to connect to the Extender.

The first time you add a WPS client, WPS automatically sets the Extender’s wireless security to WPA2 + WPA with a random passphrase. You can view these settings in the Wireless Settings screen, described in the following section.

Extender Wireless Settings

You can use the Wireless Settings screen to change the network name (SSID) for the Extender’s network and to set up wireless security. If you do not change these settings, the network name is NETGEAR_EXT, and the network is open (no wireless security is set up).

To change the wireless settings for the extender’s network:

1.From the Extender menu at http://www.mywifiext.net, select Setup > Wireless Settings to display the following screen:

2.In the Name (SSID) field, you can type in a new name to customize your extender network.
