    Hello my Friend.

    Yes, Your computer has found the Range Extender, but if You have done nothing else, the Range Extender has not connected to Your main Router yet.

    You need to tell Your new Range Extender which Network (SSID) You want it to extend.

    You have to log into The Range Extender and pick the SSID You want it to Repeat. Provide it the WIFI password You need when You connect to Your main Router. That should be it.

    Your NETGEAR_EXT should now be online with the same password as Your main Router.

    Try it :)
