Buttons
The side panel contains the following buttons:
•Reset button. Pressing the Reset button for about five seconds resets the extender.
•WPS button. Pressing the WPS button let's the e xtender connect to y our existing WiFi network through
WPS.You can also connect WPS-enabled devices to the extender using the WPS button.
•Power button. Pressing the Power button turn the extender on or off.
When to Use Your Extender
NETGEAR recommends that you connect through the extender network only when the WiFi device is in a
“dead zone” where connection from the existing network is poor or nonexistent. Data traffic routed through
the extender is inherently slower than traffic routed directly from the network.
How the Extender Works
The extender works like a bridge between a WiFi router (or a WiFi access point) and a WiFi device outside
the range of the WiFi router.The extender performs two main jobs:
•The extender connects to a working WiFi network.
When the extender connects over WiFi to an existing network, it functions as a network client, similar
to how a WiFi device connects to a network.
•The extender acts as an access point for WiFi devices.
The e xtender broadcasts its own WiFi network that WiFi devices can join. In its role as an access point,
the extender performs tasks that WiFi routers do, such as broadcasting its network name (SSID).
Overview

AC750 WiFi Range Extender
The extender must do each of these jobs so that both ends of the bridge are in place.

Install the WiFi Extender
Place the extender, apply power, and connect the extender to your WiFi network.
Place the Extender and Apply Power
To place the extender and apply power:
1. Place your extender in the same room as your WiFi router.
Proximity to the WiFi router is required only during the initial setup process.
2. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
3. Wait for the Power LED to light amber and then turn green.
If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off button on the side of the extender.
Connect to an Existing WiFi Network
To extend the range of your WiFi network, you must connect the extender to your existing WiFi network.
You can do this in one of two ways:
•Connect with WPS. For more information, see Connect with WPS on page 10.
•Connect with web bro wser setup. For more inf ormation, see Connect with the NETGEAR Installation
Assistant on page 11.
Connect with WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join a secure WiFi network without typing the network name and
pass word. For help with the WPS button on your WPS-enab led de vice, chec k the instructions or online help
that came with that device. Some older equipment cannot use WPS.
WPS does not support WEP network security or a hidden SSID network. If your
e xisting WiFi network uses WEP security or its SSID is hidden, follo w the instructions
in Connect with the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on page 11.
Note
To use WPS to connect the extender to your WiFi router:
1. Press the WPS button on the extender.
The WPS LED blinks.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router or access point.
When the extender connects to your existing WiFi network, the WPS LED on the extender lights solid
green and the Router LED lights.
If the Router Link LED does not light, try again. If it still does not light, see Connect with the NETGEAR
Installation Assistant on page 11.
3. If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band, repeat Steps 1 and 2 to connect the extender to the 5 GHz
band.

AC750 WiFi Range Extender
4. Unplug the extender and move it to a new location that is about halfway between your router and the
area with a poor router WiFi signal.
The location that you choose must be within the range of your existing WiFi router network.
5. Use the Router LED to help you choose a spot where the extender-to-router connection is optimal.
6. If the Router LED doesn’t light amber or green, plug the extender into an outlet closer to the router and
try again.
Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router until the Router LED lights amber or green.
7. On your computer or mobile device, find and connect to a new extender WiFi network.
The extender creates two new extender WiFi networks.The extender’s new WiFi network names are
based on your existing WiFi network name, with _2GEXT and _5GEXT at the end of the name.
For example:
•Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
•New extender WiFi network names. MyNetworkName_2GEXT and MyNetworkName_5GEXT
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.
8. Test the new extender WiFi range by moving your computer or mobile device to the area with a poor
router WiFi signal:
a. Leave your computer or mobile device in the area with a poor router WiFi signal and return to the
extender.
b. Check the Device LED on the extender:
•If the Device LED is solid green or amber, your new extender WiFi network reaches the area
with a poor router WiFi signal and your network setup is complete.
•If the Device LED is red, your new extender WiFi network does not reach the area with a poor
router WiFi signal.
You must move your computer or mobile device closer to the extender until the Device LED
turns solid green or amber.
