Step 2: Plug it in

If it doesn’t, press the Power button. Press the power button if it does not.
Step 2: Connect the Extender
Grab a phone, laptop, or tablet. Search for a new network name in your Wi-Fi setting, such as NETGEAR_EXT. Connect to it.
Open your browser once you are connected and type:
www.mywifiext.net
You will be taken to the Netgear Setup page. If you receive a message saying “page cannot be found”, make sure that you are connected to the network of the extender. This page will only load when you are on it.

You’ll find a wizard on the page of mywifiext.net. It’s very simple.
- Choose your current Wi-Fi network.
- Enter your Wi-Fi password
- Choose a new name for your extended network. (Or keep the old one — it’s up to you.)
- Apply the settings
After a couple of moments, the extender will restart and connect with your router.
Step 4: Connect Devices
Once the Range Extender AC EX6100v2 has been set up, you should see your extended network in your list of Wi-Fi networks. Connect any devices you want to use in the area with low signal strength.

FAQs about Range Extender AC 6100v2 Setup
Q. Why can’t i access mywifiext.net
A This happens when you are still connected to the main Wi-Fi and not the extender. You need to connect to the setup network of your extender. It will look like NETGEAR_EXT. Mywifiext.net will only load correctly if you have connected to the extender’s setup network.
Q. Can I use the name of my router as the Wi-Fi name for an extended network?
A. It can be easier to switch between signals for your devices. Keep in mind that if the signals overlap too much some devices will get confused and choose the weaker signal. In some cases, a slight change in the name of the signal might be helpful.
Q. Do I have to install software to use it?
A: Nope. Mywifiext.net runs everything through your web browser. No complicated downloads or tools. Simply plug it in and connect. Follow the instructions on screen.
Q: I have set up my extender but the speeds are still low. What’s the problem?
A Move the extender in a more convenient location. Check if your network is overloaded with devices. Extenders don’t increase bandwidth, they simply help distribute it more evenly. Both placement and traffic are important.
Q. How can I reset my extender in the event of a problem?
A : Locate the small reset hole at the bottom or side. Press and hold the reset hole with a paperclip, pin or other object for 10 seconds. Let go once the lights start blinking. You can then start over from scratch.
A: Is it possible to set up the app on a mobile device?
A: Yes. It’s not mandatory to use the Netgear Nighthawk App, which can assist with placement and setup. It’s an alternative method if you prefer apps to the browser.
