How To Troubleshoot Netgear Wifi Range Extender Problems by alicegarten(f): 8:47am On Jul 17, 2019
When we talk about extending the range and coverage of your existing WiFi network, what would be the first thing that comes to mind? Without any doubt, it's a Netgear WiFi range extender, isn't it?

A Netgear extender works with your current wireless signals incoming from the router and amplifies them in a manner so that they can reach all over the home. However, there are a bunch of users who experience various issues with their Netgear extender during and after WiFi range extender setup.

If you are too sailing in the same boat, we recommend you to read this post until the end. Here, we will take you through a journey around our tutorial on how to fix Netgear WiFi range extender problems with ease. All set? Let's get the ball rolling.

Note: It may take any longer or a few seconds to fix the issues with your Netgear extender – all depends upon the complexity of your extender problem. So make sure to have patience while implementing the troubleshooting steps.

1. Ensure the Best Placement
In the event that you are not receiving the strong WiFi signals or facing the internet connection failure, check your extender’s placement first. WiFi devices are meant to use radio technology. As a result, wireless connectivity gets lost when the distance between such devices increases.
So if you are going to access the internet in blind WiFi zones, place your extender nearby. What's more, keep the wireless extender at a certain distance from interference-creating objects like Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, washing machines, fish tanks, etc.

2. Avoid Too Many Connected Devices
A single WiFi network having too many connected devices results in the traffic increase. As a consequence, you have to compromise with the network speed. In this situation, remove those devices from the network which are not currently in use. Always keep a practice to connect only necessary devices to your WiFi home network.

3. Dealing With the Extender Login Issues
Regardless of the fact that your PC is either connected wirelessly or using a cable, you can bump into some superfluous errors while accessing mywifiext.net login page for your Netgear extender. This mainly happens when there is an issue with your internet connection or the web browser is not compatible with the web-based address.

Hence, check your internet connection first. For this purpose, you can connect with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). On the off chance that there is all good with your internet connection, reset your web browser, clear its cookies and cache and restore the default factory settings on your Netgear WiFi range extender as well.

4. Don't Put Wrong Wireless Settings Into Play
Most of the users set up their Netgear range extender in a hurry and miss any useful step. As a consequence, they enter incorrect wireless settings for their extender. And due to this, a lot of technical Netgear extender problems can appear. So ensure to change the extender’s wireless settings correctly.

5. Only Access a Working Internet Connection
Getting error messages while accessing mywifiext? It occurs because your extender is not connected to the internet. In this scenario, you will see one of the below-given errors:

- Server not found
- Can't connect to the internet
- Unable to find the server
- You are not connected to the network
- The page cannot be displayed

All these error pop-ups imply that either your internet is not working or your internet data is expired. Confirm these things from your Internet Service Provider or ISP essentially. In case the issue is still there, feel free to connect with the experts at any time. They will fix all your technical problems in an instant.
