You can learn how to add a wi-fi extension to your home network.Your wireless network can be extended to parts of your home where the signal is weak.About halfway between the wireless router and the affected area is where you should put the Netgear Extender.
Step 1: Attach the antennas to the modem.
If you're setting up a desktop extender, you will usually have to do this.The antennas are already connected if you have a wall extender.The initial setup of your extender should be done in the same room as your wireless router.You can move it once the setup is complete.If you have an existing wireless router, use this method.If you're not sure, check for a button.The button can say Push n' connect, Quick secure setup, and more.It might have a padlock icon.
Step 2: The extender should be plugged into a power source.
The power cable that came in the box should be used to plug the extender into the outlet.Plug it into the wall outlet.Pressing the Power On/Off button will turn on the extender.
