You can restore the device’s settings from this file. Backing Up Settings 1. Click Backup. Your browser extracts the configuration file from the range extender. 2. If you do not have your browser set up to save downloaded files automatically, locate where you want to save the file. 3. You can give the file a meaningful name at this time, such as internet_adapter.cfg. Restoring Settings 1. On the Backup Settings screen, click Browse. 2. Locate and select the previously saved backup file. 3. Click Restore. A screen displays letting you know that the device has been successfully restored to the previous settings. The range extender restarts. This takes about 1 minute. Do not try to go online, turn off the range extender, shut down the computer, or do anything else to the range extender until it finishes restarting! 4. Close the message window. To restore your settings from a saved configuration file, enter the full path to the file on your computer, or click Browse to browse to the file. When you have located it, click Restore to send the file to the range extender. The range extender then reboots automatically. Erasing the Settings Under some circumstances (for example, if you have lost track of the changes that you made to the range extender settings), you might want to erase the configuration. After an erase, the range extender returns to its factory settings (see Factory Settings on page 25). To erase the configuration, click the Erase button in the Backup Settings screen. Do not try to go online, turn off the range extender, shut down the computer, or do anything else to the range extender until it finishes restarting! Set the Password The user name to access the range extender is admin, and its default password is password. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you set a more secure password. From the range extender menu at under the Maintenance heading, select Set Password. The following screen displays: Type the old password, type the new password twice, and then click Apply. Upgrade the Firmware Unless you changed the settings in the Firmware Upgrade screen previously, the range extender is set up to check for new firmware automatically at log in. If you do not want to use the automatic firmware check, clear the Check for New Version Upon Login check box. To check for firmware and upgrade if it is available: 1. From the range extender menu at under the Maintenance heading, select Firmware Upgrade. The following screen displays: 2. Click Check to see if new firmware is available. If it is, follow the onscreen prompts to download it onto your computer. 3. Use the Browse field to locate and select the new firmware. 4. Click Upload to install the new firmware on your range extender. Once you start the firmware upgrade, do not try to go online, turn off the range extender, shut down the computer, or do anything else to the range extender until it finishes restarting! Advanced Wireless Settings The range extender is already configured with the optimum settings. Do not alter these settings unless directed by NETGEAR support. Incorrect settings might disable the range extender unexpectedly. To view or change the advanced wireless settings: From the range extender menu at under the Advanced heading, select Wireless Settings. The following screen displays: You can view or configure the following settings: • Enable Wireless Access Point. Enable the extender to work as a wireless access point. If this check box is cleared, then computers or wireless devices cannot connect wirelessly to the extender. • Enable SSID Broadcast. Enable the extender to broadcast its wireless network name (SSID). If this check box is cleared, then the wireless network is hidden. To join a hidden wireless network, you have to type the wireless name. • Disable Device’s PIN. Selecting this check box disables the extender’s PIN. The PIN can be used for a WPS wireless connection. • Keep Existing Wireless Settings. When this check box is selected, the settings in the Wireless Settings screen stay the same when WPS is used for a wireless connection. • Setup Access List. Specify a list of computers or wireless devices that are allowed to connect to the network. If you use an access list, then computers that are not on the list are not allowed to join the wireless network. 3. Troubleshooting Smart Wizard FAQs 1. When I connect to the network, Smart Wizard keeps asking me for my passphrase, and I am sure I’ve entered the correct passphrase. What can I do? It is very likely that the range extender is placed at the borderline of the range covered by the router. See Positioning Your Range Extender on page 6. 2. I got an error message in the Review Settings screen in the Smart Wizard. What should I do? Make sure that your computer is connected to the range extender by using the SSID and the passphrase that you have just set up, and clicking the Refresh button in your browser. Th...
