Multiple Range Extenders

[LA_1998]

I have two questions.

One, if I already have an extender for one floor, can I add a second extender for the basement?

Second, the extender I purchased shows already registered to another user.  Anyone know how to reset that?

1. You can use more than 1 range extender but make sure to set them up in a star configuration and NOT daisy chained. 

• star: Extender<-------router------>extender
• Daisy: Router------>extender------->extender

2. If it was already registered and you bought it new, its probably faster to return/exchange it. If you bought it from a person, they can have it deregistered from their account. 

3. you should be able to still install it even if registered. Just factory reset it. Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on. 

There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
Its a great resource to start with.
