STEP 1: Place the Extender

Let us talk about the very first step to performing the Netgear WN3000RPV3 setup. It is to place the extender at a suitable location in the home. How you can decide the best place for your extender. Let us tell you that while you are setting up the WiFi range extender, you need to place it near the host router or the main gateway. Thus bring it to the place where your router is placed.

STEP 2: Apply Power

While you have brought your extender closer to the router, there is one thing that you need to consider. There ought to be an available wall socket near the router. If there’s any then make use of an extension cord.

Insert the power adapter that came along with the Netgear WN3000RPV3 extender into it. Plug the other end into the available power outlet. Ensure that the power socket should be damage-free and in well working condition. Thereafter turn the power button on and apply power to the extender.
