When to Use the Extender Wireless
Network
NETGEAR recommends that you connect to the Extender wireless
network only when a PC or wireless device is in a “dead zone” where
the network connection to your existing router is very poor or
nonexistent. This is because data traffic routed through the Extender
wireless network is slower than traffic directly from the original
wireless router network.
If you cannot connect from your wireless device to the Extender,
move the Extender to a different location halfway between the device
and the router. If, after you try several locations, the device cannot
connect to the Extender, move the Extender closer to the device.
