- 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.

Thank you for the video!! I just purchased one to reach a dead spot in my home. Can we say amazing!!! I didn't have any issues until the Smart TV needed all this access. It is working like a charm!!!

Yeah, I just plugged mine in and was wondering why it wasn't working. Good ol' men's way of installation. Throw away the instructions, grab a beer, and yell at an inanimate object for hours for not working.
Thank you for your comment. It made my day! x'D

Just brought a NETGEAR wifi Range Extender and Thank you so very much for having this video still posted even though you did this back in Dec. 2016. You explained it very clear in which I could understand besides slow, so I could pause it and not miss anything afterwards. This helped a lot, not that I have windows 10 but you explained it all different ways in hooking it up and connecting.
does it help with internet or just expands the range of it?
Thank you so much for the video. I had tried several times using the inst. in the box to get my extender installed but could not get it so just reboxed it and set aside. Your video explained it so simple and easy, I was able to hook it up in 10 min. after days of frustration, needing extra BP medication to reduce the high BP it had caused me, and saved me calling a computer company to come hook it up for me. It was easy as pie after watching your video. THANK YOU.. you have extended my life expectancy.. ha
Just set mine up, many thanks for your video! would not have known what to do without it.

I did it !! thanks to your instructions , I suggest with impatient people like myself to leave the extender plugged in LONG enought to pick up the wifi signal -- ( adhd ) , thank you !
Clear and to the point. This is what all tutorial videos should look like.
Absolutely love this extender. Easy to set up and works none stop.

You can also use the wps button on your router and extender to setup in 1 minute
Thanks it worked
Omg this was so helpful, I was struggling with understanding the directions how to set up my extender but you’re tutorial made it so easy. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Good vid dude, it helped me and my family to get a reliable extender, keep up the work
😎👍
I just tried to add a Seriud Wifi extender. I can't find anything on the web about this product. I can't get the passwords to work. I boxed it up and went with the netgear instead.
Thanks so much for the easy, step by step explanation and demo! Was exactly what I needed to set up my system.
honestly nick ...... i be been looking all around the internet to extend ma WiFi but nothing was as good as yours mate!!!
I have to give it to you
shout out to Nick !!!!
Thank you for taking the time and make our job so much easier. Cheers
Glad to hear my video helped to make your job much easier. 👍😎
will this work if the wifi is an open network and a password is not needed to access? would I still need to enter the number key?
D Santiago I need an answer to this as well!
lol are you stealing someones internet
i have this same question. wifi access is free with cable service. no theft needed.
D Santiago and torinakins and liam96brown: See my post above.
Will this work if the Wi-Fi is an open network or XFINITY Log in and Password needed to access, also will this work if you don't have physical access to the Router?
If I have everything set up already can I change the ssid name still ?
This helped me so much Nick! Thank u so much
You are awesome, I've been trying all day to connect my extender, followed your instructions and worked perfectly 1st time. Thanks so much.
Great to hear! Thanks for your feedback!
@@nickscomputerfix for me my router is making a very irritating buzzing sound and the internet isn’t so good as I did connect my cable from my PS5 to the router and the connection is very poor,any tips?
Great job .....
Very thorough...kudos to you!
Great tutorial. Was very helpful. I had to figure it out how to reset the device because I didn't buy it. Thanks a lot!!! :)
Thanks for leaving feedback on your success.
Paper clip to factory reset
Thank you very much! I had no idea what to do. I just followed this video and I had it connected in minutes!

good simple and straight forward, very good
After an hour of frustration, I plugged this in right next to my router, and I was connected within seconds. Now I can move it to it's permanent location.
Does is reach pretty far??
As well the use of the WPS
You need to check speed at different spots of the house and report. You may get degradation of speed in some 60Hz powered locations.
True.
Huh?
Left a comment to say you’re videos is extremely helpful. Thank you. I’m going to buy one but wanted to do some research first.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you Nick P - Very well explained !
👌😎

Started slowly, but got the job done thx 👍
Thanks Nick you have explained is very nicely, 5 stars for you.
can you connect it to multiple device such as phone and computer without Ethernet cable?
Multiple devices can be wirelessly connected to this unit without Ethernet cable.
nickscomputerfix thanks man great video by the way
Just did it!
I have a nighthawk R7000 router which has served me well for a couple of years. About 6 months ago I was unable to find it on my PC to do any updates. I have tried everything to find it on my computer to access it. Not available. Please advise me or help.
very clear and simple instructions , the best i have seen on youtube , thanks.
Happy to hear my video was easy to follow. Thanks for the great complement. It's appreciated.
Any noticeable speeds vs the actual router towards the net gear extender?
Hi
Thanks for reviews
What happened with other wifi extender, the one with no antennas ? Is it no good? Is it broken?
Please let me know if is worth buying it , the one for 12$ from ebay ?
That one still works good.
nickscomputerfix thanks, so if other one still works may i ask why you needed to buy another one, more expensive one this time?
I do RUclips video reviews on a lot of new tech stuff.
can i move this toward the back of my house where the main internet connection is having trouble reaching? or does this have to be next to my router?
jennifer 1983 when you connect it to the router then you have to be next to it then you can go wherever. the hell you want and extend you wifi within your routers range
can u get multiple ones of these and use the same wifi so that everyone in your house can have their own extender? Does that work?
Multiples will work.
nickscomputerfix ok great thank you
BROOOOO YOUE A LIFE SAVER IM NOT JOKING MY FAM BOUGHT ONE AND JUST TURNED IT ON AND I SAID SOMETHING WRONG FOR FOURRRR YEARS TYSSSSMMMMMMMMMM
I WISH YOU THE BEST GODBLESS YOU
great video--super clear. Thanks!!
You could have shortened this video to 5min. What I wanted to see in the review is if it does extend a device to full bars in an area of the house were the wifi is slow/spoty.. Why would I need a wifi extender in an area of the house were there are full bar??
i tried connecting the extender to my ps4 via Ethernet cable, but the download speeds come out to 4.6MB/s which is hella slow 😯....am i doing something wrong here?
Try different locations for the n300 to get better signal strength from your router.
nickscomputerfix I'll let you know what's up, thx!!
u didn't let him know whats up, did you lose wifi completely?
Curry Chicken Dumb ass.
Hella slow?
Is flashing green the right thing to see when connected with Ethernet? (The flashing green light is right next to the Ethernet port)
Very helpful video.First i try to connect but doesn't work.After video 100% works.Thanks again...
Also, does with work with any netgear router?
Absolutely works with any NETGEAR router and most other routers too.
thank you so much for the reply's!
nickscomputerfix what routers does it work with
@@alawjack all kind of
I've set mine up, but cannot connect to devises, because it says password is wrong or something about a security key... PLEASE HELP
Pruuugh pw admin
I thought it was the same password?
I have the same issue, it said the password is wrong?
This is shit some here, it’s said wrong password
@@farouk16a how was it
Nick. This is an excellent explanation.
Thanks. It's always nice to hear great feedback on my videos. 👍😎
Thanks!! You made it very easy for me.
in my case it did the complete opposite to extend. It slowed down my wireless network.
well did you use It as a WiFi or did you use It as wired, It might not be no different but you could always try it out xD
Harry Olsson how do I use it wired, I have the extender in a separate room, can I wore my device to the extender?
yes you need to connect the extender to your device using an ethernet cord
question guys? my router is down stairs, and my PS4 is UP Stairs, and my NETGEAR, Do i put that UPSTAIRS plugged in Next to my PS4 and set it up? and insert a ETHERNET cable from NETGEAR to PS4?
Baffoono if it has an ethernet port then you can do that but sometimes when you use repeaters for gaming you end up with double nat so I found a way around that situation, I put my extender in the DMZ of my router and my nat was open on my Xbox so I assume it would be the same on ps4
Why bother reviewing if you don't have all various possible setups explored? What is WPS and if I only have a LAN router and want to become a WiFi hot spot how does that work?
Just try connecting the lan wire to the extender....and there you go with the hotspot
Possibly the most useful video ever
Thank you. 👌😎
Thank you - so much better explanation than the Quick Start guide!
👍
Superb
God Bless!
Would like to see the set up as a hotspot. Thinking of using it that way you think you can show a video of that. Can't seem to find one on line.
That is a nice demonstration of how to setup the extender and I will try it on my system.
Thanks for coming back and sharing your feedback. It's appreciated.
Can it be used for Xfinity
It works with most all WiFi routers.
+nickscomputerfix I got a question.we have the same wifi extender and we using wifi so can I use a Ethernet cable on the extender to use for the ps4?
Shawn Washington yes
hey ...what's the port for ..???
Ethernet Port.
Fucking brilliant. Why is it there? was the question.
Is the Ethernet port used to connect one device or network input?
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.
Obviously to used as any fucking ethernet port is used, to connect to the internet. How fucking dumb can you be?
I have to return mine, I couldn't get the new extender setup screen. Only the other one no matter what I tried
Would this be something of great use at a college using it as an extender for console gaming?
It worked great for about 2 days now it keeps disconnecting my devices randomly
Update: just reset it and connect it to your router again
Will this work for a ps4?
Yes, you can connect it directly from ethernet to ethernet port.
mine just stopped working completely out of nowhere, any idea what to do?
nickscomputerfix CAN I PLUG A ETHERNET CORD IN THE ADAPTER TO XBOX. AND WILL THIS INCREASE MY UPLOAD SPEED AND MY MBPS ?
TheClumsyBrit did it work?
Gamingparody Bought it last month and it has improved my connection by miles.
Hi, Nick thank you very much! i followed your steps and my wifi range extender was up and running in minutes.
Thanks Nick, very patient explanation!
You're welcome. Thanks for the nice comment.
Informative video... but quite drawn out, slow, and boring.
Also, never covered the use for the Ethernet port (is it extended to modem/router, or extender to device?)
10 mins is the "magic number" for increasing youtube ad revenue. Learning to avoid videos that are just over 10 mins coz they usually are longer than needed and dont get to the point
Well just found out a family member been stealing our wifi thanks to this device fml... >:/ thanks for the video
love the video thanks for explaining all the steps :)
👍
Great video thanks! I have an RV that is parked on my property about 100ft from my wireless modem. The speed in the house is around 48 MBPS and getting around 6 in the RV now....will this extender give me a better signal in the RV?
First 4 minutes is a waste of time geeesh , no one cares what the box looks like and everyone knows what an antenna is
Say Video starts at 4:00
Like it’s some new phone lool
Thanks!
Wifi is slowwwww
very slow it is
did u return it?
Hey thanks a lot for making this video. It helped out. Cheer's!!
Thanks for your feedback.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank you!!! I was able to connect after watching your video a couple of times. You made it very clear how to do it,. Evan an old dog like me was taught a new trick. Thank you again. Mark P. S. You have a good teaching approach. If you can't tell I am very happy.
Glad my video tutorial on the NETGEAR N300 helped you out. Thanks for the generous words.
THANK YOU, couldn't get the mywifiext page to load because I was connected to the extender and it didn't have internet connection on google chrome or Opera but when I switched to Microsoft edge it worked, would have never thought to try that lol thanks again!!
Great to hear!
I’ve purchased this model UK . The set up was much easier , all I had to do was to enter my WiFi network to connect automatically . Good extender , don’t take place and highly reliable .
Can this get you a better signal from your hotspot I have Time Warner Cable/Spectrum I have to go and stay next to window to use will this help me get better signal?
Awesome job you did with this video!
Thanks for leaving feedback.
Thanks! Much simpler than instruction book.
Thanks for coming back and sharing your feedback. It's appreciated.👌😎
I always find my way back here because i always watch this high and forget next time i need to do it xD
Glad to hear my video continues to help you out. Thanks for your feedback.
Im glad it's lite i hate getting weighed down by my other extenders
great tutorial, thx for the help.
Will this extend my iPhone Hotspot? I want to overcome the limited range and 5 device limit of iPhone Hotspot by catching the Hotspot with Extender and broadcast it thru my house so I can connect my other devices to the Extender.
Thanks mate, it was really useful
I have the n300 ex2700 and have mac filtering on my router this is very difficult setting up you have to disable Mac filtering and then connect all of the wireless devices to the extender and use the virtual Mac addresses for Mac filtering on your router which is found inside the configuration page under attached devices on the extender
thank you for the installation setup. i saw on amazon.ca is 39.99$ and bestbuy(online only) 59.99$ with the same model. i will go with amazon for 39.99
Thank you, your tutorial made my Extender configuration much easier ! Thanks to you i have wifi all over the house!!
If I was to get this extender, will the internets drop in certain location after I use it?
Thank you I got the n300 and i saw your video , what a big help ,I got it up and running well. Get job thanks , sign 60+ lol
Glad to hear my video helped you out. Thanks for coming back and leaving great feedback. It's appreciated. 👌😎
For me. This what i was lokking 4 ! Thx
hi! do you know what to do when you press on the wifi and it asks for a password? it doesn’t take me to the website and if i manually go there myself it says im not connected
Would this be faster for a PS3 connection for gaming if I connected an Ethernet cable from the extender To the PS3?
This one work whit the ring bell wireless and how to set up ? Thanks
I'm thinking about buying one of these does this weaken your internet speed ? Im only considering buying it so I could have a better connection in my room for playing my Xbox. am I going in the wrong direction or should I go ahead and get one of these ?
