When to Use Your Extender
NETGEAR recommends that you connect through the extender network only when the WiFi 
device is in a “dead zone” where the connection from the existing network is poor or 
nonexistent. Data traffic routed through the extender is inherently slower than traffic routed 
directly from the network.
How the Extender Works
The extender works like a bridge between a WiFi router (or a WiFi access point) and a WiFi 
device outside the range of the WiFi router. The extender performs two main jobs:
The extender connects to a working WiFi network.
When the extender connects over WiFi to an existing network, it functions as a network 
client, similar to how a WiFi device connects to a network.
The extender acts as an access point for WiFi devices. 
The extender broadcasts its own WiFi network that WiFi devices can join. In its role as an 
access point, the extender performs tasks that WiFi routers do, such as broadcasting its 
network name (SSID).
