Connecting the Extender to an Existing
Wi-Fi Network

To extend the range of your Wi-Fi network, you will need to connect
the Extender to your existing Wi-Fi network. You have two options to
connect the Extender to your network.

Option 1: Connecting with WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

WPS lets you easily join a secure Wi-Fi network without typing
the network name and password. The WPS button is a physical
button on the Wi-Fi router, gateway, or access point.
If your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup

),

NETGEAR recommends that you use Option 1; otherwise, go to
Option 2.

Tip:

WPS does not support WEP network security.
If you are using WEP security, use Option 2
to connect.

Option 2: Connecting without WPS, using web browser setup guide

The web browser setup guide walks you through the necessary
steps to connect your Extender to an existing Wi-Fi network.
