Resumen del manual
The extender has its own wireless network called NETGEAR_EXT that wireless computers can join. In its role as an access point, the extender performs tasks that wireless routers or gateways do, such as broadcasting its network name (SSID). The extender must do each of these jobs so that both ends of the bridge are in place. When to Use Your Extender NETGEAR recommends that you connect to the extender only when your home network connection is poor. Because data traffic routed through the extender is inherently slower than traffic routed directly from the network, the computer should stay on the network if the connection is good enough. NETGEAR recommends that you connect through the extender network only when the computer is in a “dead zone” where connection from the network is very poor or nonexistent. Find the Best Location WiFi routerClientExtender Figure 2. Best location When you install the extender and join the extender network, the arrow LEDs guide you to the best location to plug in the extender. If no arrow is lit, the location is good. Blinking Left Arrow. The extender is too far away from the router or gateway. Blinking Right Arrow. The extender is too far away from your computer or wireless client. The best connection is established when there is a clear line of sight between the extender and the wireless router or gateway and also a clear line of sight between the extender and the computer you are using. If this straight path is blocked by a thick wall or other materials, move the extender to a different location half-way between the computer and the router or gateway. Use the Pass-Through Power Socket The extender provides a pass-through power socket. After you have the extender positioned correctly, you can plug in the equipment that was previously plugged in the wall socket before you plugged in your extender. Figure 3. Pass-through power socket use The pass-through power socket can carry up to 16A and 250 VAC. The extender has features to connect it to your network and show how it is working. Front and Right Side View The front and right side of the extender have LEDs, the pass-through power socket, and an Ethernet port.
