Re: Extender lost connection

Hi Stacey_rae,

 

Which extender and router are you using?

 

On the back of your extender, there is a "Factory Reset" hole. Use a thumbtack or safety pin and push the button for about 7 seconds until the Power LED starts to flash.

Release the button and all the LEDs should turn off, then the Power LED turns on and will go from amber to green.

 

Now go on your computer, connect to the extender WiFi: NETGEAR_EXT
and make sure your computer is not connected to any other internet network.

Then open a web browser and go to mywifiext.net and follow the setup procedure to reconnect to your router.
