Netgear EX7000 Installation Guide
1. Attach the antennas.
Attach the antennas to the connectors and turn them clockwise to
tighten. Bend and rotate the antennas into position. Double-check that
the antennas are properly tightened.
2. Turn on your extender.
Place the extender close to your WiFi router. Plug the extender into an
electrical outlet. Press the
Power button if necessary.
3. Connect to your WiFi router.
Press the
WPS button on the extender. The Link Rate LEDs and Device to
Extender LED blink green.
Within two minutes, press the
WPS button on your WiFi router. After a
few seconds, the 2.4 GHZ Link Rate LED lights green, indicating a good
connection between your WiFi router and your extender. If the 2.4 GHz
Link Rate LED does not light, or the LED is blinking amber, try again. If
the LED still does not light, follow the instructions for No WPS button on
the right.
4. Add a WiFi band.
If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band (not all routers do), and you
want to extend that band, repeat Step 3 and check that the 5 GHz Link
Rate LED lights solid green to confirm the connection.
5. Choose a location and check the signal strength.
Now that the extender is connected to your WiFi router, you can move
it to a location that will boost your WiFi range. The location you choose
must be within the range of your existing WiFi router network.
The Link Rate LEDs help you choose a spot where the
extender-to-router connection is optimal. See Indicator LEDs on the
back to learn how the LEDs show the best connection.
If you get no connection or a poor connection, move the extender closer
to your WiFi router and try again until the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Link Rate
LED lights green.
6. Connect your WiFi devices.
Take your WiFi device to the location with poor WiFi router coverage.
Find the new extender network name:
Existing network name. MyNetworkName
New extended network name. MyNetworkName_2GEXT
or
MyNetworkName
_5GEXT
Select the new network and use your WiFi router password to connect.
You are now using your extended WiFi network.
