About extender and how to setup the extender?

What is Extender?
Basically, Extenders are devices that are used to extend the coverage of the existing wireless router. These are used in large homes or offices. Extenders are also called as boosters as they boost the coverage area. Extenders can be used for various types of network. The areas where the range is not proper are called dead spots. Extenders are used to provide the network to these areas in the home. To setup the extender you need to visit their official website mywifiext.net. And to configure the settings you must have a Netgear WiFi extender account. If you have any problem while setting up the extender visit mywifiext.net troubleshooting page.

2. The default network name (SSID) of the extender is NETGEAR_EXT. . Connect your wireless computer to the wireless network using this default network name.
3. Launch a web browser, it will automatically take you to the Netgear genie setup guide page.
