How to Set Up a Netgear EX2700 N300 WiFi Repeater

1. Connect the three antennas, and either attach your Range Extender to the stand, or put the small non-slip pads on the bottom.

3. Plug the range extender into the wall.
   
4. Turn on the Range Extender by pressing the power button on the side.

To continue, we need to know what Operating System your computer is using.

There are 2 main Operating Systems for personal computers currently available, Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS.

Microsoft Windows	Apple macOS
Microsoft Windows runs on computers produced by multiple companies, such as Lenovo, Asus, Dell, Toshiba, Hewlett Packard, Acer, and Sony.	Apple is the only company that makes macOS computers.

A wired connection is provided by an Ethernet cable. Most commonly, these are used by desktop computers and other equipment you don't move around often.

If you don't connect a cable between your computer and your Range Extender, you are using a Wireless connection.
