How to Setup Netgear Extender for the Best signal

Your router is capable of covering small home but if you have a large home then what will you do. No need to worry when there is a solution available. Use Netgear extenders for this purpose. The signal of the router is unable to reach far corners of a large home so setup extender in between so that you can enjoy playing games, streaming video from every corner. And if we talk about extender then it is easy to setup the Netgear extender manually through mywifiext.net. It is true that you require some technical help for the manual setup. But do not get a headache by thinking as we are here to help you out.



We are giving some tips here so that you can get the maximum coverage.

Extender Placement
The location of the extender matters or we can say it is a key to success. The midway location is the best location for placing the extender. For this, you can make a map to place the extender. Choose a location for your main router and extender from where you can extend the signal to the dead zone area and where the power outlet is available to plug in the extender. Setup the extender using mywifiext.net browser interface. And then check the connection by connecting to the extender network through a laptop or computer.

Hide and Seek

You need a cable that can be extendable if your extender is not working on the ground. You can try by putting it on a shelf or cupboard. For this thing, we need an AC cable. You can also try changing the position of the antennas if your extender has. You can also use Wifi reflector such as a mirror for this purpose. Check the internet speed through Speed-test. You can have the confirmation through this test that either you are getting the signal or not.

Upstairs and Downstairs

When you have to setup the extender below or above the main router then consider the wall, ceilings that can absorb the wifi signal. To resolve this you have to put the extender close to the main router.

Reflective devices

The devices like a microwave oven, mirrors, refrigerators or cordless phones are the main culprit in this issue. Make sure these objects are not acting as an obstacle in between the extender and router or extender and dead spot. The radio frequency emitted by these devices adequately affects the wifi signal.

Thinking about the same name of router and extender
  
It is up to the user if he wants to have the same name for the router and extender. The advantage of using the same name is that you do not have to log in again and again while roaming in the house. The disadvantage being when there is signal overlap then in that area you can’t get the signal.
