    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.

    I have completed the Installation Wizard, but my wireless devices cannot get the IP address 
    from the extender. What s hould I do?
    Make sure that the passphrase you entered on your wireless device is correct, and power 
    cycle t
     he extender and your router. 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.
    Connecting to http://www.mywifiext.net
    If you have trouble connecting, try to locate the source of the problem:
    •      For he
    lp with passwords, see  Log In to the Extender on p age 10 .
    •      If your browser displays an erro
     r page, make sure that you include http:// when you type 
    this URL in the address field of your Internet browser. If you leave it out, you might not be 
    able to connect.
    •      The e
    xtender LEDs can help you tell if the extender is correctly set up and working as it 
    should.
    - T
    he best performance is delivered when Link Rate LED  or  and the 
    Wireless Device to Extender LED 
     are green.
    - A workable perfo
     rmance is delivered when the Link Rate LED LED  or  is 
    amber and the Wireless Device to Extender LED 
     is green.
    If you cannot get a wireless connection working, you can use an Ethernet cable to 
    conne
     ct your computer to the extender. See  Connect a Computer to the Extender with an 
    Ethernet Cable on
      page 9 .

    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. Click Continue to run through set up again to 
    connect to your network.
    If you click Continue, the Smart Wizard starts again (see Use NETGEAR Genie to Set Up 
    the Extender on page 11). If you click Exit, the Status screen displays with menu selections 
    on the left (see Log In to the Extender on page 10).
