Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be able to install 2 of these units to connect to the same main router?
Yes, you can connect two separate extenders to the main router, but ideally you would do this if you have two low coverage areas in the home that are separate from each other. You cannot “chain” two extenders together to extend the coverage distance.
Does it matter if my wall outlet is behind a piece of furniture? The only wall outlet I have available is behind my dresser.
I found out from experience that a mirror directly between your computer and the wifi router will weaken the signal. A metal filing cabinet would do the same, but wooden furniture doesn’t hurt it at all.
Can you tell me what voltage is listed on the back of the device eg 100 to 240v?
Yes the voltage is listed as 100-240v on the back label (in very small print).
Could someone please explain to me (in simple terms), why I would need a dual-band extender?
In my case, our router & cable internet connection was in my son’s room. By the time we got to my room and other rooms in the house the connection got slower, more interruption, lousy TV streaming, etc. Now that we have this extender all of those issues have disappeared. No one can explain it in simpler terms than me because I listen to my son who is going to school for computer programming.
I need to extend my wifi to my garage. about 35 feet from my wifi in the house? would this product be reliable?
Yes, this will definitely help. I have as well extended my wifi signal from my router in the living room to my garage, which is at least the same range as you need to cover. I needed it for the irrigation panel which was installed in my garage and also for the security camera in front of my garage overlooking the driveway. Both have perfect signals now
Does your SID have to be broadcasting in order to connect the extender?
I’m assuming by “SID” you mean the SSID from your Main router. Yes, the Main router has to be broadcasting a Wifi signal. It can be hidden, but this extender connects to the Main router much the same way your laptop connects to the Main router via Wifi.
Does it need to be wired to a router?
You can wire it to a router as an access point. Or make it wireless in extender mode. You’ll have to wire it to your computer first to configure the unit.
Can anyone tell me if I need the ethernet cable in order to use this product? or will it run properly without it?
you can connect it to your main router without ethernet hookup. The directions will show how to connect without an ethernet cable.
Does this product have built-in surge protection or should it be attached to a surge protector?
I did not read or observe any information about this extender being surge protected
Could you let me know if you’re able to operate this range extender with its own password different from the router’s password?
I don’t know. I returned it. It wasn’t strong enough for my needs. I went with an Orbi. Or had a bigger range and took on many more connections to the router, which is what I was looking for.
Does this work with multiple devices at the same time?
It boosts the wifi signal from one modem. We have had no problems using the boosted signal for multiple devices at the same time, e.g. two phones and a tablet.
Do I have to divulge my wifi password to Netgear in order to install it?
No, your WiFi password is only used locally and is not transmitted or needed by NETGEAR for setup.
Does it work on 220v or will it burn?
Yes, it would work on the 220V.
Can you connect two of these wifi extenders to cover more distance?
I think that you can but I’m not positive. I had 2 extenders from a different manufacturer connected in the past and it seemed to give me more coverage. I would check with Netgear to be sure.
