Frequently Asked Questions

You can find more information about your product in the User Manual

available at

http://support.netgear.com.

1.

The Smart Wizard keeps asking me for my passphrase, and

I am sure I have 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. Follow the instructions in the

previous section to resolve this. If you are using WEP security,

make sure that you are typing the wireless key in the correct field.

2.

I connected to NETGEAR_EXT and launched a browser. Why

can’t I see the Smart Wizard?
First, make sure your computer is set up to use DHCP (most are).

Second, make sure the PC to Extender status LED is green and

you have a valid IP address. Finally, re-launch the browser and

enter www.mywifiext.net.

3.

Will the Extender work if I connect it to the router with an

Ethernet cable?
No. The Extender is designed to connect wirelessly to the router.

4.

What are the user name and password to log in to the

Extender?
The user name is admin and the default password is password.

Both are case-sensitive
