# Cannot find New extender setup button anywhere
Whenever, we try to reach www.mywifiext.net, sometimes, we are unable to see the New extender setup button. It could be due to different reasons. We may not have put the web address on the address bar of web browser. Instead of that, we may have put the web address on the search box. Due to which, we would not be able to see the New extender setup button and we reach to Netgear official website homepage. Then, we try to look for the New extender setup button, but unfortunately, we will not get the New extender setup button over there. So, every time whenever we trying to setup the Netgear wireless extender using the web browser setup we always have to put the web address on the address bar of the web browser.

After setting up the Netgear extender, I am having No Internet access


We could setup the Netgear wireless range extender using the simplest method of wireless protected setup (WPS) or we could use the web browser setup as well. The difference between the two is that one is automatic and the other is manual. With WPS all the settings on the Netgear wireless range extender are applied automatically and on web browser setup, we have to make all the settings what we want to set on our Netgearwireless range extender. No matter which we use, sometimes, after setting up and connecting to the Wi-Fi network extended by Netgear wireless range extender, we see No internet access.

# Reason behind No internet access
When, we connect any device with the network extended by the Netgear wireless range extender, we see no internet access and connected, just below the name of Wi-Fi network of Netgear wireless range extender. It could be due to may reasons. It could be due to the malfunctioning our existing home wifi router or it could be due to the power fluctuations. No matter, what is the reason, we would not be able to use internet in such condition from our Netgear wireless range extender.

# How to fix it?
The simplest and the quickest solution to solve this problem would be performing a power recycle on our every device connected to our Netgear wireless range extender. That means, we have to turn off our router fooled by the Netgear wireless range extender and at last, we have to turn of that Wi-Fi device in which we were connected to the Netgear extender. After one minute, we have to turn our Home router first followed by the Netgear wireless range extender and at last, the other Wi-Fi device. Then again, we have to try connect to the Netgear extender and this time, it should have the internet access.

# Last option, we would be left with is hard reset
If, the way we discussed above doesn’t work, then, we have to hard reset our Netgear wireless range extender. We could easily reset the Netgear wireless range extender by pressing the reset button underneath of it or on the side. After resetting the Netgear wireless range extender, it would come back to factory defaults. The Netgear wireless range extender would just be like a new extender and we could set it up all over again like we first bought it. This time the Netgear wireless range extender will work and we will have the internet access that we needed.

Do I really need a Netgear wireless range extender?


Sometimes, our home Wi-Fi router alone is not enough in expanding the Wi-Fi signals all around our home. There are always some dead zones inside our home where we could hardly find any Wi-Fi signal. As a result, it becomes too difficult to use our Wi-Fi devices in those locations. The Wi-Fi service always get interrupted. If we move from one room to another, our Wi-Fi devices get disconnected. We are not free to roam around our home in such conditions. If we are having the same problems disused above, we need a Netgear wireless range extender urgently.

# We could enjoy uninterrupted streaming
If we have a TV or any device at a particular location which is too far away from our home router, it becomes really difficult to stream HD or 4K videos. Here, we can install a Netgear wireless range extender and we could place it in the same room as where our router is, then, we just have to connect our TV or the streaming box to the Netgear wireless range extender with the help of an Ethernet cable. Once, we will make connection like this, we would be able to enjoy uninterrupted streaming.

# Large number of Wi-Fi devices
If we are having a large number of Wi-Fi devices like a smartphone, tablet, laptop and many others, the bandwidth of the Wi-Fi network decreases due to all those devices. As a result, we either get a very low speed wireless connection or we always get disconnected from Wi-Fi on our Wi-Fi devices. The Netgear wireless range extender uses the dual band technology which uses one single band for he communication between the home Wi-Fi router and itself and the other band is used for the communication between the Netgear wireless range extender and all the other Wi-Fi devices at our home.

# Big house
If we are living in a big home which have several rooms and two or more floors then, it becomes very difficult for the home router to expand the signals all around our home. IN such a case we would need a Netgear wireless range extender which could boost Wi-Fi signals all around our home. If a single Netgear wireless range extender is not able to satisfy us, we could even create a mesh network by using several Netgear wireless range extenders. So, if we are having any problem from the problems we discussed above, we will need a Netgear wireless range extender for consistent Wi-Fi network all around our home.
