Quick Start

July 2017

Model EX3110 

You can connect with WPS or you can use the NETGEAR 
installation assistant from a web browser.

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. If you 

are using WEP security, follow the instructions in 

 on the other side of 

this quick start guide.

1.  Press the 

WPS button on the extender until the WPS 

LED blinks.

2.  Within two minutes, press the 

WPS button on your 

router or access point.
When the extender connects to your existing WiFi 
network, the WPS LED on the extender lights solid green 
and the Router LED lights.
If the Router LED does not light, try again. If it still does 
not light, see 

 on the other side of this quick start guide.

3.  If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band, repeat 

Steps 1 and 2 to connect the extender to the 5 GHz 

band.

4.  Unplug the extender and move it 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.

5.  Plug the extender into an electrical outlet and wait for 

the Power LED to light green.

•  Solid green. The extender is powered on.

•  Off. The extender is powered off.

the extender and the router or access point.

•  Solid amber. Good connection.

•  Solid red. Poor connection.

This LED indicates the network connection between 

the extender and a computer or mobile device.

1.  Place your extender in the same room as your WiFi 

router.
Proximity to the WiFi router is required only during the 
initial setup process.

2.  Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.

Wait for the Power LED to light green. If the Power LED 
does not light, press the 

Power On/Off button on the 

side of the extender.

6.  Use the Router LED to help you choose a spot where the 

extender-to-router connection is optimal.

7.  If the Router LED doesn’t light amber or green, plug the 

extender into an outlet closer to the router and try again.
Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router 
until the Router LED lights amber or green.

8.  On your computer or mobile device, find and connect to 

a new extender WiFi network.
The extender creates two new extender WiFi networks. 
The extender’s new WiFi network names are based on 
your existing WiFi network name, with _2GEXT and 
_5GEXT at the end of the name.

For example:

•  Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName

names. MyNetworkName_2GEXT and 

MyNetworkName_5GEXT

Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi 
router.

9.  Test the new extender WiFi range by moving your 

computer or mobile device to the area with a poor router 

WiFi signal:
a.  Leave your computer or mobile device in the area 

with a poor router WiFi signal and return to the 

extender.

b.  Check the Device LED on the extender:

•  If the Device LED is solid green or amber, your 

new extender WiFi network reaches the area 
with a poor router WiFi signal and your network 
setup is complete.

•  If the Device LED is red, your new extender WiFi 

network does not reach the area with a poor 
router WiFi signal.
You must move your computer or mobile device 
closer to the extender until the Device LED 
turns solid green or amber.
