Yes, what is the use of buying a range extender then if you are not configuring it or keeping the Netgear wireless extender setup process for later? You are buying the Netgear Nighthawk extender for unbeatable and uninterrupted internet speed, right? And, you will not get it after configuring it in a successful manner.
Set Up Nighthawk Extender
- The first thing that you have to do after buying the Netgear Nighthawk extender is to unbox it. Then, after unboxing, you have to choose a working wall socket for it that must be near to your router. Yes, then only you can complete the Netgear wireless extender setup process. Why? Because there is a need to connect the devices using an Ethernet source. And, if you don’t plug them in reach of each other, then how would you wire them up?
- What? Don’t have two wall plugs in the same place? No problem! In that case, we suggest you to use an extension. As soon as the Netgear Nighthawk setup process completes successfully, you can locate your extender and router at their preferred location and connect them wirelessly.
- During Netgear Nighthawk setup (using a wired source), you have to ensure that your devices (extender and router) are properly plugged in. Only plugging in the devices is not important! You also have to provide them with a steady power supply. Once your devices are getting a continuous power supply from their respective wall outlets, you have to wait for the LEDs on them to become stable. This might take a longer time than usual.
- Now, the LEDs on your devices are stable, right? Fab! Now, it’s the time to turn on a WiFi-enabled device you have. No matter whether you are using a desktop, laptop, or wireless computer, if its software version is outdated, then you will surely face slow performance of the device, resulting in “unable to perform Netgear wireless extender setup”. So, to fix such an issue, just ensure that the software on your device is up-to-date.
- Moving further, open a web browser of your choice on the WiFi-enabled device, head over to the browser’s URL bar, and enter 192.168.1.250 IP or mywifiext.net web address.
Note this down that the extender’s default web or the IP address will not work for you if
- You are committing typing errors in 192.168.1.250 IP or mywifiext.net web address.
- You are using an outdated web browser version.
- You are using the search bar for entering them.
- You are working with unnecessary open and pinned tabs.
- You are not clearing the browser’s cache and browsing history.
Bonus: Configuration of the Netgear WiFi range extender can also be done easily using the Nighthawk app Just download and install the app on your device from Play Store or App Store and go through the instructions.
- After entering the extender’s default web or the IP correctly in the address bar you have to hit the Enter key (option depends upon the device you are using). Now, you can see that the extender’s new extender setup page is displayed on the screen of your device, right?
- What are you waiting for? Provide the extender’s default username and password into the required fields and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the NetgearNighthawk setup process.
- We can’t provide you with complete instructions to configure your Netgear Nighthawk WiFi extender. The reason behind this is simple! Let us suppose that there are 50% percent of users who are using Netgear Nighthawk extender, ok? All of them have different models and only a few of them have the same. So, how can we know which model they have? Netgear extender setup instructions depend on model to model. How can we provide them? If we provide the instructions as per the model we have, all of them will mess up with the process and we don’t want that.
So, what you can do – download and install the Netgear Nighthawk app and get the complete setup instructions as per the model you have. That’s it!
