Set Up Setek WiFi Extender with NETGEAR 4-Stream WiFi 6 Router

Connect to the Setek network

So, grab your laptop or your phone. Go into your WiFi list and you should see something like Setek_EXT or maybe Setek_2.4G_EXT. connect to that. It might say “no internet” – that’s fine. Then open a browser (like Chrome or whatever) and type in this: 192.168.10.1.

Log in

There’ll be a login page, it’s super basic. default user and password are both admin (lowercase).
if it’s not, check the sticker on your Setek. mine had it right there on the back.

Scan for your main WiFi (the NETGEAR one)

Once you’re in, it’ll ask you to choose your network. So, it’s going to list all the WiFi signals around you – pick your NETGEAR one. Then it’ll ask for your WiFi password – same one you use for your main router.

Name the extended network

After that, you can name the extended WiFi whatever you want. Honestly, I just left mine as MyHome_NETGEAR_AX_EXT so I knew which was which. You can make it the same name too, but then you might not know if your phones on the extender or the main router. I like to see the difference, personally.

Wait & Reboot

Hit Apply or Connect or whatever the button is. now just wait. like really wait. mine looked frozen for like a minute. Don’t unplug anything, don’t refresh the page. it’s doing its thing.

Eventually it’ll say “Setup Complete” or the light will turn solid green (or blue, I forget).
then you can move it – unplug it and take it to like halfway between your router and your weak-signal room.

Plug it in there. wait again for the lights to come back on. Connect your phone to the extended WiFi and your Setek WiFi extender setup is completed, test it.

Quick test

Go to a site or stream something to make sure it’s actually working. If it’s super slow, maybe move the extender a bit closer to the router. too far = garbage signal. too close = pointless.

Troubleshooting Tips: Set Up Setek WiFi Extender with NETGEAR 4-Stream WiFi

Plug the thing in. but make sure you plug it somewhere kind of close to your router the first time. The light will blink or something. After like 30 seconds it should start broadcasting a network that says something like Setek_EXT.

Connect to that from your phone or laptop. no password at first. once you’re connected, open a browser — just type 192.168.10.1 in the address bar. it’ll pop up a setup page. if it doesn’t, you probably need to try a different browser.

Then it’ll show you a list of your WiFi networks. pick your main one (your home WiFi), and then it’ll ask for the password for that network. Enter it carefully — if you screw it up, you’ll have to reset the extender and start over.

Once that’s done, it says something like “rebooting, please wait.” it’ll take a minute or two. just chill. when it’s back, look for the new network, it’ll have the same name as your WiFi but with “_EXT” or “_PLUS” at the end. connect to that and see if you get internet.

if it’s not working — here’s what learned the hard way:

• If you set it up too far from your router, it’ll technically “work” but be super weak. move it halfway between your router and the room you need it in.
• If the lights are flashing weird (like red nonstop), just stick a paperclip in the little reset hole and hold for like 10 seconds. it’ll blink like crazy and reset. then start over.
• Also, some routers have both 2.4GHz and 5GHz — the Setek only likes 2.4GHz. i wasted half an hour trying to connect it to the 5GHz one. don’t do that.
