This article will explain how to factory reset Netgear extender routines. Netgear has developed a wide range of network range extenders. Many of these also include a factory reset button. When this button is pressed, the unit erases any custom settings. The extender is then factory reset to its default settings. E.g. A factory reset returns the settings to their original state when the unit was shipped from the factory. If the Netgear extender exhibits unusual behavior, you should factory reset it. Failure to connect to the primary Wi-Fi network is one example. Alternatively, the extended or extension network slows or freezes, etc. Before purchasing a new unit, try factory resetting it. A simple factory reset could save you money on a new extender. As a result, we provide a simple method to accomplish this, and hopefully, a factory reset will resolve the majority of issues you may encounter with this equipment.

Locate Reliable AC Power

Never turn off the power during the factory reset. So why not? Because doing so may corrupt the extender’s memory or cause the installed firmware to fail. As a result, the extender may not start up again. As a result, we recommend plugging your extender directly into a well-fitting, unswitched AC wall outlet. Furthermore, do not connect it via an extension cord because this avoids the loose and spotty connections that are common in cheap or worn out cords.

Access the Netgear Extender Admin Web Site.

Connect a computer to the extender once it has powered up and fully booted. Bring up a web browser on that computer. Then navigate to http://mywifiext.net/. The Netgear Genie website’s home page appears next. Then, through the extender login to the site, follow the prompts.

Look for the Factory Reset option.

The factory reset link is frequently found in the Settings->Other section.

Select the Factory RESET option.

This displays a confirmation prompt to restore factory defaults. You have the option of not resetting the extender at this time. In that case, simply exit the reset page. If you still want to factory reset your phone, proceed to the next step.

To proceed, click the YES button.

Clicking or tapping on this link is equivalent to pressing the unit’s reset button. That is, factory resetting disconnects the Netgear extender while restoring the factory default settings. During this time, the extender will also log you out of the http://mywifiext.net/ website. Lights will go out for a few seconds before flashing again as the reset takes effect.
