(NEW!) Netgear WN3000RP Setup Instructions & Installation (2025) | Easy WiFi Range Extender Guide

Step 1: Plug in the Extender

Begin by plugging the Netgear WN 3000 RP into a power outlet. Ideally, position it halfway between your router and the area where you experience Wi-Fi dead zones. Wait for the power LED light to turn green, indicating that the extender is powered on and ready to connect.

Step 2: Connect to the Extender’s Wi-Fi

Once the power LED is green, you will need to connect your phone or computer to the extender’s Wi-Fi network. Open the Wi-Fi settings on your device and look for a network named "Netgear_Ext". Select this network to establish a connection.

Step 3: Launch the Setup Page

Next, you will need to open a web browser on your connected device. Enter the setup page URL, which is shown on your screen. If prompted, create a login username and password for the extender. This will allow you to access and configure the settings necessary for your extender.

Step 4: Select Wi-Fi Range Extender Mode

During the setup process, you will be prompted to select a mode—choose "Wi-Fi Range Extender." The extender will then scan for available Wi-Fi networks in your vicinity.

Step 5: Choose Your Main Wi-Fi Network

From the list of available networks, select your main Wi-Fi network, the one connected to your router. You will be required to enter your existing Wi-Fi password to establish a connection between the extender and your router.

Step 6: Configure Extended Network Name

You have the option to keep the default network name for the extended network, or you can create a new name, such as "Home Wi-Fi Extension." This will help you identify the extended network easily.

Step 7: Reconnect Devices

Finally, once you’ve completed the setup, reconnect your devices to the newly extended Wi-Fi network. You should now enjoy improved Wi-Fi coverage in previously unreachable areas of your home.
