A reset is frequently the solution if your Netgear WiFi extender isn't working as it should—perhaps it keeps disconnecting, your internet speeds are poor, or you can't remember your admin credentials. You can start over by resetting the device to its original factory settings. Here's a detailed tutorial on how to quickly reset Netgear wifi extender.
- Start with a soft reset.
Try a soft reset before performing a complete factory reset:
- After connecting your extender to a power outlet, watch for the power LED to solidify into green.
- Press the Reset button on the extender's bottom or rear with a paperclip or pin for ten seconds or so.
- Press and hold the button until the LEDs blink. After rebooting, the extender will revert to its initial configuration.
- Use www.mywifiext.net to reconfigure the extender.
You must reconfigure your extender after the reset:
- Link your smartphone or PC to the WiFi extension.
- In the address bar of a browser, type mywifiext.net.
- To reconnect the extender to your current router, adhere to the on-screen directions.
Outdated firmware might occasionally be the cause of poor performance or frequent connection drops. It is advisable to update the firmware on the Netgear extender after the reset and setup:
- Enter www.mywifiext.net to access the extender.
- Navigate to Settings > Update Firmware.
- Download and install any updated versions that are available. Stability and security are enhanced by this.
When to Reset
When troubleshooting, you should only reset as a last option. Before doing a factory reset, try restarting, moving the extender, or updating the firmware.
Your extender will provide optimal coverage and remove dead zones in your house if you properly reset it and then set it up. You may save time and stress by learning how to reset your Netgear Extender and maintain its firmware updated, regardless of whether you're having trouble logging in, having trouble connecting, or having lost your credentials.
