Universal Dual Band WiFi Range Extender WN2500RP
When to Use Your Extender
NETGEAR recommends that you connect to the extender only when your home network
connection is poor. Because data traffic routed through the extender is inherently slower than
traffic routed directly from the network, the computer should stay on the network if the
connection is good enough. NETGEAR recommends that you connect through the extender
network only when the computer is in a “dead zone” where connection from the network is
very poor or non-existent.

The best connection is established when there is a clear line of sight between the extender
and the wireless router and also a clear line of sight between the extender and the computer
you are using. If this straight path is blocked by a thick wall or other materials, move the
extender to a different location half-way between the computer and the router.

•
If the Link Rate LED is red or the Smart Wizard cannot connect the extender to a router,
move the extender closer to the router or to a different spot where it provides a better line
of sight. As you move the extender, continue to check the Link Rate and the Wireless
Device to Extender LEDs on the front panel until you find a location where the Link Rate
LED is green or amber, and the Wireless Device to Extender LED is green. Note that you
might have to unplug the extender as you move it to a different location. If you do, from
the new location, power up the extender and continue to check the LEDs.
