Troubleshooting Tips
  1. Set up Your Extender Properly
Partial new extender setup may lead you to various connection problems, preventing your Android from accessing the internet properly. Therefore, it is important to set up and install a Netgear WiFi range extender in your home in a proper manner.
  1. Connect to the Right Network
Be sure to connect your Android device to the correct WiFi network. It often happens that you and your neighbors may have the same make and model of a Netgear WiFi range extender. Due to this, you both have the same WiFi network name (if both don't change the default SSID!). And this leads to confusion.
In such a case, you may connect to your neighbor's WiFi network instead of yours. This may give your Android device a bad internet connection. So, keep in mind to choose the correct WiFi network name to connect your Android device. To avoid any confusion, it is better to change the default SSID of your Netgear WiFi range extender. However, do not include any personal information in the WiFi extender SSID.
  1. Change the Location of Your Extender
Maybe your Netgear range extender is placed nearby such devices that degrade its signal strength. Due to this, WiFi signals from the extender are unable to reach your Android device. So, be certain to place your wireless extender away from metal objects, electronic appliances, reflexive surfaces, and water resources. These devices include aluminum studs, microwave ovens, baby monitors, cordless phones, fish tanks, glasses, mirrors, electric motors, etc.
Additionally, do not place your WiFi extender near concrete walls, windows, floors, under a table, in corners, and inside a cabinet. The place you choose for your Netgear extender must not be dirty.
  1. Turn Airplane Mode On and Off
Chances are that your Android device is causing an issue while connecting to the WiFi extender's network. This can be fixed by turning off and on the airplane mode. To do so, all you need to do the following:
  • Launch the Settings app on your Android device.
  • Tap on the Wireless and Networks option.
  • After that, tap on the airplane mode.
  • Toggle the switch next to the airplane mode to turn it on.
  • Wait for some time.
  • Now, disable the airplane mode.
Once done, try connecting to the Netgear WiFi extender's network and accessing any web page like mywifiext.net to check if the issue gets fixed.
In case you are still experiencing the same issue on your Android device, re-setup your Netgear wireless extender once and try connecting your Android phone to its network again.
