See how to install NETGEAR N300 WiFi Range Extender/WiFi Repeater setup and eliminate WiFi dead spots in your home. Just about every WiFi device around the home needs to be connected to your wireless router and they can't all be in the same room. The best way to get a basement or porch wireless device connected is to use a NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender. This WiFi repeater/WiFi extender will boost your wireless router signal to those long distance WiFi devices. Get rid of those WiFi dead zones in your home by boosting your existing WiFi with the NETGEAR N300. This technology device is also known as or called a WiFi Booster or WiFi Repeater as well as a WiFi Range Extender too. Different names but same tech and network LAN function.
My video take you through the NETGEAR N300 WiFi Range Extender installation, setup, configuration, unboxing and review. I take you through all of the Netgear repeater setup steps, from start to finish. Watch how to extend wifi signal at home fast and cheaply.
The Negear N300 extender/wifi repeater is extremely small and simply plugs into an AC 110v wall socket. It connects or makes a network link connection with your existing wifi router. Now here's the best part. You don't even have to go near your existing wifi router and never have to change anything in your existing wifi router configuration. Once it has made a wireless link connection with your existing home wireless router, it will repeat your wifi signal even at the very edge of your wireless router coverage. In other words, just like the name says, it's a wifi range extender.
You can also use the Ethernet port/LAN port (RJ45) on the bottom of the wifi repeater, that allows you to connect those devices that have no wireless ability and must connect via a LAN cable. Like some older LAN printers or desktop computers.
This NETGEAR WiFI Range Extender N300 Wn300RP was on sale at Walmart for $29.00. It's also refer to as model Netgear n300 wifi range extender ex2700 or Netgear range extender WN3000RPv3 too. I just could not past it up. The price was right for a well known retail brand wireless repeater device for the house.
My Assessment of this NETGEAR Repeater:
The wireless repeater/wireless booster and also called a WiFi Extender from NETGEAR gave me very good strong signal strength in almost every location I placed it, in my house. I was really not expecting it to work so well. The wireless signal was strong but what was most important in my opinion was it gave a consistent strong signal. No WiFi dropouts while I was monitoring it over a 3 hour time windows. It gain my trust and confidence quickly. In conclusion, this is the easiest way to learn how to extend wifi range by using this router extender in your house. It also BTW makes a great WiFi extender for gaming too. And just for a second BTW you can easily see how to fix Smart TV slow internet issues by watching this video on NETGEAR WiFi Extender N300.
BTW, one last thing.
If you Google wifi repeater walmart or wifi extender walmart, sure enough you will find this repeater over at Walmart for around the same price I bought it for. Check it out if my video got you interested or curious about this wifi extender or wifi booster.
Here are answers to 2 important questions:
1) Will it eliminate Wi-Fi Dead Zones in my house? Yes.
2) Does it give good signal strength in WiFi Dead Zone spots? Yes.

I received an upgrade from Frontier, and they disabled the wifi on my router and added a eero mesh extender. So now I cannot get my ring floodlight camera to work which was using my netgear n300 extender that was in turn connected to my router. So i think i'm screwed because I don't believe I can piggy back the netgear extender off the eero extender. My ring doorbell camera still works as it used the wifi directly from the router and works with the eero extender. Any thoughts?

Here's the reason in a nutshell: Extender location is the primary key to getting the best signal quality, speed and most distance out of any extender not just this one. You might experience interference problems, cut offs, signal drops, low speeds: because of thick walls, floors, house construction materials used, metal roofs, non metal roofs, neighbors wifi channel overpowering your extenders network connectivity, other electronic equipment or extender might be to far away from router...etc. With any extender you will need to test best placement location until you find the best sweet spot somewhere mid way between your Primary Router and your Wifi device connecting to the extender. This will give you the best consistently solid speed and strongest signal quality from the extender to your wifi device.

QUESTION: I live in an apartment complex where they will be installing WiFi in each wing. I live on the ground floor and the management claims that renters on the ground floor and first floor will get the signal with no problems. I would like to ask you, when the signal will not be strong enough, what type of "range extender" would you recommend? Just guessing but the WiFi "antenna" will be about 50' from my apartment and there are two walls between my computer and the WiFi. I use Skype often, do anyone of you think that there will be no problem with the signal? Thanks for your help.
@nickscomputerfix
@nickscomputerfix 7 лет назад
I would wait and see if your new WiFi provides you with the signal strength and quality you want or need first, before doing anything.

It serves two functions. 1) In order to get to the setup screen, you are required to hook up the extender to a device, such as a laptop, via ethernet cable. 2) After the setup, you are given the option to link up your router to your extender via the same cable.

Nick, you helped me initially set up my N300 wifi extender but I have a new problem. The DSL company came and changed my main router with a new one and now my extender cannot find the new router. I have been reading & trying for 2 hrs. to figure out how to this out...do I have to use the "reset" button on my WiFi extender and start all over?? I tried just using the WPS buttons but apparently the WPS does not work on the new router. Thanks...ripping my hair out!!

You will need to do a repeater reset by using the RESET button (press and hold for 12-14 seconds) while it's plugged into a wall outlet and power is on, then release button and go through the setup steps again as shown in my video.

Great Video, I have a question. Recently we had our modem/router rewired to the basement. I now use a network adapter card to get my internet. However, the Router is in the basement on the opposite end of the house. I get about 5-8 MBPS In my room, but the living room gets about 10-13 MBPS and is right next to my room. If I were to purchase this extender and put it in the living room, connected with my PC In my room, would I receive closer to 10-13 MBPS?
@nickscomputerfix
@nickscomputerfix 7 лет назад
Unfortunately, there is no clear cut answer to your question. WiFi signal strength, distance, quality and signal consistency is not only dependent on the WiFi equipment but also the structural obstacles that the signal has to pass through to get to your WiFi devices. Examples: walls and cement floors. And don't forget location of the Extender within your house or building.

Hello, I am having a problem trying to configure a Netgear wifi booster. I have a different model of Netgear,the N-150, and also a Wireless N from a different brand. The Wireless N configures and shows up in the list of nearby networks,but it is not secure,so I don't dare use it. The Netgear 150 does not configure at all. i tried multiple times using the WEP button method and also going to the Genie setup site but that tells me that the device is not configured and the site is not secure. i don't know what the problem could be. These things should be easy to set up,but I am having great difficulty. I would like to try the Netgear here in your tutorial,but am worried that I won't be able to get it to work. Any suggestions?

WiFi signal strength, distance, quality and signal consistency is not only dependent on the WiFi equipment & devices but also the structural obstacles that the signal has to pass through to get to your WiFi devices. 1)Try moving the Extender to different AC wall outlets, to get around signal obstacles, thick walls, floors and other signal competing electronic devices . 2) You could also try using the Extenders Ethernet port (hard wired).

@nickscomputerfix

An AP Access Point is when your Extender is connected to your primary Wireless Router by cat5 cable. When it's use as a Extender it extends your wifi network wirelessly as is shown in my video. For additional information I suggest using Google.

1) Yes, you can connect an Ethernet cable to it, but only one. 2) Keep in mind that it's not a router. it's a WiFi Extender. It will extend your main WiFi router signal further. Speed and signal quality of devices that connect to it, depends on where you place the Extender in your house (and how many walls and/or floors the signal has to go through).
