Me too, thank you so much. Apparently, the extender wouldn't clone the password from my router and I was getting no where. None of the help on Netgear's pages helped. I was so frustrated I ended up ignoring it for too long to get support from Netgear's helpdesk. When I found your video, I reset the extender (yet again!) and followed your instructions and they worked perfectly. I thought I was going to have to try and buy a network cable to connect the devices manually. Netgear should be using your instructions in their manual, not faffing about with the WPS button. Thank you again.
@@TechandDesign No, I would not say the connection light is a waste. At time's when you get a weak signal, sometimes you will get automatically connected to a nearby hotspot; especially in a really populated area. Another thing to consider: If you are having problems with your computer, the indicator light let's you know it's not a connection problem. So yes, there is a purpose for the connection light.
Checked your video before I bought one here in Canada. Easy:peasy setup as you said. Got to say I’m impressed with the range also. I’m over 100+ ft from the router and through 3 walls. Getting green/amber/red on the router led. But even on red I’m watching tubi on my tv with no buffering. Great product.
I have that same range extender and mine is in a whole another house next door lol and it still works I get my Wi-Fi from my father-in-law's house right now my son has his phone on I have my phone on the Xbox is turned on I have two rokus that are on right now so it works pretty good but it's getting old after 3 years of having it sometimes I have to unplug it and plug it back up to get a good connection, I've been trying to figure out how to get in to the settings like the range extender genie where you can change from 2Ghz to 5Ghz I need to change it back to 2GHz because it covers a larger area and a penetrates through solid objects easier and my father-in-law put a huge shed right in between the router and my house . Honestly at this point I think it would be easier to just get my own internet over here cuz I've tried and tried to get into the settings but I cannot figure out how to get there 🤷🏻♂️
Hi! I’ve watched the whole video and I just have one question. Will this work if my AP is only 5ghz but I want the extender to transmit both 2.4ghz and 5ghz? Thanks!
Got one today and am sending it back. Had a green connection LED, but speed was abysmally slow. I have 300 meg fiber and connecting through the extender I only had 25 megs.
Hi. I just purchased one of these today. We have no phone signal at our home so we rely on wifi. It requires you to disconnect from the main wifi to that one. So since we have no service we can't load up the web page. Is there another possible way to hook up the wifi extender
I set this up almost 2 years ago and trying to set it up again, but I believe somehow my damn computer is blocking the pop up of the website when I connect to the netgear on wifi, any help suggested?
Hi , thanks for the explanation. The booklet instructions were not very clear. I still have an issue tho.. I have followed the instructions and i have the network chosen "_5GEXT" as you say but the WPS button is not lit up at all.. should it be for it to be working properly?
For anyone in LATE 2024: Perform the same steps through your phone or tablet. It should trigger a pop up when you select the Netgear EXT network and it will open your phone browser to the exact same setup page with the Dog in this video.
I like the simplicity, but I have a question just recently my wifi stopped working and said something about cant find ip address. can you help with that
for me after i’m done setting it up it says i set up the access point but have no internet connection but the thing is i pressed the extender mode so idk why it says i said up an access point
So I’m thinking about getting this, the modem is on the second floor and I live in the basement unit of my apartment. If I get this would it help extend the range from the second floor of my apartment to the basement unit?
Why does my WPS light steady bling green then fast blanks for a few seconds and then the light is off? When my TV searches for extender it's got full bars. It says connected to local network but unable to connect to internet
Hi I recently just moved to new house where the connections is really bad. I had to find extender and I bought this one. It worked few days even if WPS light was off (probably my original Wi-Fi is shown weak security), but now it is not working any more even if the other three (router, power and device) are solid green, please could you help to advise what’s going on? Thanks
Hey!! Love the Video Helps a lot just wanna make sure before I do it lol so I’ll have to plug it close to my Router set it up / Connect it before I can plug it to a wall I want ?
Hey so i connected to the wifi of the extender and it didn’t take me to the page and when i typed it into the web browser it said no internet connected
Um when I try to click the netgear option for wifi it doesn't open up to a page to setup? And I can't set it up without internet connection so what do I do? Because if im on my normal internet it doesn't let me open up the page to make an account..
@@austinpulliam2825 bro..after using it..thru put sucks azz plus i learned the technology was outdated..Netgear support now sucks..couldnt even get a response via forum or email..i trashed it and got a faster Foscam..MMMUUUUCCHH better.
The setup page does not show up because it says I have no wifi connection but wants me to be connected to the extenders wifi which has no internet so I cant get on the page
@@TechandDesign I also have an issue where I can't find the extension network under my wifi icon. For example, I have NETGEAR43 and when I connected the extender through WSP and plugged the extender at the designated place, I went to connect to the extender but no NETGEAR43_EXT was found. Can you help me with that?
Hey guys I have a question so I have a bunch of roommates so I’m trying to lock my extender so only I can use it but I don’t know how can someone please help also it’s not connecting to my nighthawk app
@@TechandDesign yeah I had bug problems with my recent one when I streamed on twitch luckily this one is much much better thanks tho for the helpful tutorial
When I connect to the extender it just says no internet connection hence I cannot connect to the webpage. Any ideas? Oh and course, WPS won't work either.
SETUP NOTE: If you can’t get it to pop up , try using a different device to log in ( I used 2 diff apple phones and 2 diff computers and it wouldn’t load the page) I used my brothers android and the setup wizard instantly came up and set up took less then 5 mins … took 3 hours for me to think of trying an android … Hope this helps someone out there
I have had mine for 2 years but cannot use it as it will not accept the same password as for my router, it keeps stating that it needs a wap/2 password, so i cannot connect my iPhone to it.
Hi wps turned green except the device and we cannot connect to the extender even if we keep on putting the password. But we can connect to the one without extender.. how can u help us..
Does it automatically connect from the original wifi to the ext wifi if you walk to a different room with weak signal? or should you manually connect to the ext wifi once in that room
Even with all lights are solid green, I still have a bad connection to the internet. But when I connect to the router directly everything is smooth. I think the indicator lights in Netgear are anot accurate..
My old ones did this when comcast sent me a new modem. I went out and bought two new extenders (168.00) and they worked. When I called netgear the guys said "hmm, I just had a call like this, same issue". I now have the 1900 but the old ones were three years old and the 750. After 90 days when you call they basically do not help unless you pay for a plan. I tried everything to make those old ones hook up but at the last step it refused. I tried many times. So 168.00 later I called and they walked me through the set up. Then I tried the old ones with the exact same set up as the new, still no good.
for some reason my computer/network was being stubborn so it only worked when I input the default ip address for the extender 192.168.1.250 after connecting to the extender wifi
when i go to setting and try and connect it has a password i need to put in but i have no idea what it is. It also says “you can also connect by pushing the button on the router” i have no idea what button it means pls help

How did you reset your extender? I've pushed the dumb reset multiple times for longer than 10 seconds and nada!
@@katm6 Hold the factory settings button in for 30 seconds. It's in so you need a paperclip or something small to get in there.
Thank you for putting the set-up on line. Your explanation makes it easy for me to set Netgear extender up.

Try holding the factory reset button for about twenty seconds and then try again. Shows up now for me.

No just pull it out I know u know coz it’s been like 5 months
How close does it need to be to the router
What do I do if net gear isent showing up

once you set up like in this video , it will automatically connect
