Netgear EX6130 – WiFi Range Extender Installation Guide

8

8.  On your WiFi-enabled 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

•  New extender WiFi network 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 WiFi-enabled 

computer or mobile device to the area with a poor router WiFi signal:
a.  Leave your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device in the area 

with a poor router WiFi signal and return to the extender.

b.  Check the Device Link LED on the extender:

•  If the Device Link 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.
