EX7000 wifi signal repeater.
A power adapter.
Stand for the extender.
Three external and detachable antennas.
Lastly, the quick user manual.

Now for the Wifi protected setup method, apart from the package contents you just need a router with WPS function and access to the power socket.

Whereas for the Netgear EX7000 setup using internet browser you need following components:

A router and its wireless network information.
A smart device.
Next up, access to the well-working power outlet.
Lastly, an Ethernet cable (optional).

Note:

In case you already gave a quick try to the Netgear EX7000 setup process but the outcome didn’t turn out to be as expected, then before redoing the setup process, make sure you reset the wifi repeater to factory settings. As this will lay a fresh surface for the installation and thus you won’t come across any issues with the setup.

Installation With WPS Button

So if your router supports Wifi protected setup button then go through these installation steps one by one:

First, place the wifi signal repeater just beside the router. Now attach all the three antennas by rotating them clockwise one by one. Thereafter, put it on its stand and with the help of a given power cable, activate the device.
After the device boots up properly, push the Wifi protected setup button of EX7000. With this the WPS indicator should flutter. If it isn’t fluttering then push the button again.
Thereafter, push the wifi protected setup key of the router.
Finally, give a few moments to the devices, so that they can successfully finish the Netgear EX7000 setup process. As it completes, the WPS indicators will go from fluttering to stable and solid.
Lastly, just detach the wifi signal repeater and plot it in an area where the router’s signals are not below 50 percent. This chosen spot should also be able to provide coverage to the wifi dead zone.

Manual Setup Using Web Browser

Do not wish to use the wifi protected setup button for the installation of EX7000 repeater? If yes, no worries as you can do the same using a web browser. So the accurate steps for it are:

First plot the wifi repeater strategically in an open space. Try to position it at an equal distance from the router and the area of concern.
Now after you finalize the spot, take all the three external antennas and attach them properly to the Netgear EX7000 wifi repeater.
Move ahead and link the power cable to the extender and then to the power socket. Press down the power button.
After the extender becomes discoverable, take your smart device. Visit its wifi settings. From here enable wifi. Select the signal “Netgear_EXT”. Click on connect.
Want more stability for your Netgear EX7000 setup process? If yes, then pair your smart device to the EX7000 directly with ethernet wire.
