Connecting Netgear ac1200 Dual Band

If your router does not support the WPS, then you first need to access the extender over the Wi-Fi and then you need to use the browser-based NETGEAR Smart Setup to connect the extender to your Wi-Fi network.  After you connect the extender to an existing Wi-Fi network using the Smart Setup Wizard, the extender changes its default network name to the existing Wi-Fi network and adds _5GEXT at the end of 5 GHz network name and 2.4 GHz network name at the end of 2.4 GHz network name.

The following are the steps that need to be followed to connect your EX6200.

•             First of all place the extender close to your Wi-Fi router.  After that, you can place the extender in a permanent location for establishing a connection to the Wi-Fi router.

•             Connect the extender to the electric supply outlet using the plug.  During the startup process, the Extender LED and the two Link Rate LED’s lights up.  These lights will be turned off after about one minute.

•             You might not be able to connect to the extender device if you have your mobile or computer is already connected to the Ethernet network.  So you have to be sure that your mobile or computer is not connected to the Ethernet network. 

•             To find and connect to the default Wi-Fi network of the extender, you need to open a Wi-Fi network manager on your mobile or computer device.

•             To find and connect to the NETGEAR_EXT Wi-Fi network of the extender you can use any Wi-Fi network utility device like Smartphone, computer or Tablet.

•             Then from the same computer or mobile device open a web browser.  The browser takes you directly to the NETGEAR screen or you can manually enter the web address http 192.168 o 1.1 admin.

•             A pop-up screen will appear to you, then click the Finish button.
