on page 24), and the software checks for new firmware at
the NETGEAR website.

The Status screen displays with the menu on the left. This screen shows what the
current settings are for the extender.
If you have trouble connecting:
•
If you connect an Ethernet cable to the extender, and launch your browser quickly, the
computer might still need a couple of minutes to recognize the Ethernet LAN connection
before you can connect.
•
Make sure that your Ethernet cable is securely connected to the extender and the
computer, and that the extender LAN LED is on. If the LED is not lit, reconnect the
Ethernet cable, and relaunch your Internet browser.
