Getting Started 2. Connect to your WiFi router. 3. Choose a location and check the signal strength. Do To extend the range of your WiFi network, you must connect your Nighthawk® extender to your existing WiFi network. You can do this in one of two ways: • Quick Start Nighthawk X4S WiFi Range Extender Model EX7500 Don’t Connect with WPS. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join a secure WiFi network without typing the network name and password. Note: WPS does not support WEP network security or a hidden SSID network. If your existing WiFi network uses WEP security or its SSID is hidden, follow the instructions in Connect With the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on the other side of this quick start guide. • 4. Connect your devices. Connect with the NETGEAR installation assistant. To use the NETGEAR installation assistant, you must launch a web browser on your computer or mobile device. For more information, see Connect With the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on the other side of this quick start guide. Connect With WPS 1. Place and plug in your extender. a. a. Press the WPS/Power button on the extender for less than five seconds. The WPS LED blinks blue. Note: If you press the WPS/Power button for more than five seconds, the extender turns off. b. Within two minutes, press the WPS/Power button on your WiFi router. When the extender connects to the router, the WPS LED lights solid blue. If the Router Link LED lights blue, the connection between the router and extender is good. If the Router Link LED lights amber or red, move the extender closer to the router and try again. Note: If your router supports the 5 GHz band, your extender attempts to connect to the router’s 5 GHz band the first time you press the WPS/Power button. If your extender did not connect to the router’s 5 GHz band the first time, repeat the WPS process. a. b. Place the extender close to your WiFi router. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet. Wait for the Power LED to light solid blue. c. If the Power LED does not light, press the WPS/Power button. Move your extender 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. See the previous image for an example. The Router Link LED helps you choose a spot where the extender-to‑router connection is optimal. For more information, see LED Descriptions on the back of this quick start guide. b. If you get no connection or a poor connection, move the extender closer to your router and try again until the Router Link LED lights blue. a. b. Take your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to the location with poor WiFi router coverage. Connect your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to the extended network. Your extender uses the same WiFi network settings as your router for its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz extended networks. For example, if your extender connects to the router’s 2.4 GHz WiFi band, your extender uses your router’s 2.4 GHz WiFi settings for both its networks: • Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample • Router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G • Extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample • Extended 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample If your extender connects to the router’s 5 GHz WiFi band, your extender uses your router’s 5 GHz WiFi settings for both its networks: • Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample • Router 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G • Extended 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G • Extended 5 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G Note: Since your router and extended networks share the same WiFi network name, only one WiFi network name is broadcast. Connect With the NETGEAR Installation Assistant 2.
