How to Troubleshoot Netgear Extenders
Netgear Extenders improve the coverage of your wireless network by increasing the range of the network from your router. Extenders take in the signal from your router and then rebroadcast the signal to reach areas outside of your router's standard range. As with any piece of networking equipment, outside issues as well as internal errors can cause the extender to stop working properly. You can utilize the troubleshooting features included in the device to get it back to a functional operating condition.
