My WIFI EXT
- Allows a customer to setup a wireless extender online
- The service is easy and free to use
- In order to access the service the customer MUST be physically connected by Ethernet or wirelessly connected to the NETGEAR Range Extender
When setting up the bothersome My WIFI EXT service it is highly recommended to have the NETGEAR device in the same room as the wireless router and then once the connection has been established the customer can move the extender to its intended location (i.e. their man cave). One of the most common issues when setting up the WIFI service is the customer does not have the NETGEAR Wireless Range Extender plugged into a power source.
