Frequently Asked Questions

What is mywifiext.net and why can't I open it? +

mywifiext.net is NETGEAR's local setup portal for WiFi extenders. It only works when your device is directly connected to the extender's default WiFi — not your main router. If it's not opening, connect to the extender's network first, then try again in incognito mode.

What are the default username and password? +

For most NETGEAR extenders the default username is admin and password is password. If these don't work, the credentials were likely changed. You'll need to perform a factory reset to restore defaults.

How do I perform a factory reset? +

Keep the extender powered on. Locate the pinhole reset button (usually on the side or bottom). Use a pin to press and hold for 10 seconds until the LEDs flash. Release and wait ~60 seconds for the device to reboot to factory settings.

Where should I place my extender for best results? +

Place it halfway between your router and the dead zone — close enough to receive a strong signal (at least 50%), but far enough to push coverage into the problem area. Avoid walls, microwaves, and cordless phones nearby.

Can I use mywifiext with TP-Link or Linksys? +

mywifiext.net is NETGEAR-specific. TP-Link uses tplinkextender.net, and Linksys uses extender.linksys.com. Our support bot can walk you through setup for any brand — just ask!

My extender shows connected but there's no internet? +

This usually means the extender connected to your router but isn't getting an internet signal from it. Try: rebooting both your router and extender, checking if your main WiFi has internet, and re-running the setup wizard on mywifiext.net.
