Troubleshooting34 Universal Dual Band WiFi Extender – Desktop/Wallplug Frequently Asked Questions 1 NETGEAR genie keeps asking me for my wireless password, and I am sure I have entered the correct wireless password. What can I do? It is likely that the extender is placed at th e borde rline of the range covered by the router. To resolve this, follow the instructions in Positioning Your Extender on page 8 . If you are using WEP security, make sure that you are typing the wireless key in the correct field. 2 I conne cted to NETGEAR_EXT and launched a browser. Why am I unable to see NETGEAR genie? First, make sure that your computer is set up to use DHCP (most are). Second, make sure that the Wireless Device to Extender LED is solid green and you have a valid IP address. Finally, relaunch the browser, and enter www.mywifiext.net. 3 Will the extender work if I connect it to the router with an Ethernet cable? No. The extender is designed to connect wirelessly to the router. 4 I have ena bled a wireless MAC filter (wireless access control – ACL) on my router. What should I do when installing the ext ender? The wireless device MAC address is translated to another MAC address when the wireless device connect s to the extender. If your router MAC filter is enabled, the wireless device will not be able to get the IP address from the extender. To allow this wireless device to access the Internet, you must add the translated MAC address into the router. To get the translated MAC address: aDisa ble the MAC filter on your router. b.Power on the extender and connect all of your wireless devices to the extender. c. Make su re that the Link Rate LED remains lit. d. Log in to yo ur router and check the attached devices on the Attached Devices screen. Add any MAC addresses that begin with 02:0F:B5 into your router’s MAC filter table. 5 My router security is WEP, and I entered the wrong passphrase or security key on the extender. I ca nnot access the extender any more. What can I do? The extender cannot check to see if the WEP passphrase is correct. If you entered the wrong passphrase, your wireless device is not able to get the IP address from the extender. You must reset the extender to the factory defaults to get the IP address back.
Troubleshooting35 Universal Dual Band WiFi Extender – Desktop/Wallplug 6 I have completed the Installation Wizard, but my wireless devices cannot get the IP address from the extender.

If your device is still not able to get the IP address: a Move the e xtender closer to your router, and move your wireless device closer to the extender. b. Disable the wire less interface and enable it again to see if your wireless device can get the IP address. c. I f your router has a MAC filter (wireless access control), disable it and follow the FAQ to add the device’s MAC address to your router.

Troubleshooting 36 Universal Dual Band WiFi Extender – Desktop/Wallplug Joining WiFi Networks To join a WiFi network you have to know its network name (also called the SSID) so that you can select it. If the network is secure, you have to know the passphrase or wireless key. If the extender does not connect to the network that you selected, the following message displays: Connection was not established to the selected network. If this happens, it could be for one of these reasons: • The network name, passphrase, or key might have been typed incorrectly. Click Cancel, use the Smart Wizard to select the network from the list, and retype the passphrase or key. This is case-sensitive. PASSWORD25 is not the same as Password25 or password25. See Use NETGEAR Genie to Set Up the Extender on page 11. • If the Smart Wizard does not find your wireless network (it is not displayed in the Select Existing Network screen), check to see if your wireless network is still up and running. Make sure that the router is turned on. If possible, move the extender closer to the router and click Try Again. • If the extender Link Rate LED is red, this indicates a poor wireless connection. The best connection is established when there is a clear line of sight between the extender and the router you are connecting to. Make sure that there are no physical obstacles between the extender and the router, and try to move the extender closer to the router. If you use the Smart Wizard, and the extender cannot connect to the router or cannot get an IP address from the router, it displays the following message: You are not able to connect to the Internet.
