WiFi routers keep you connected 24x7, but they are not capable of delivering the internet range to the courtyard and back yard of your house. If you want to keep your mobile devices, computer, or laptop connected to the WiFi in every corner of your house, then you might want to need to go through our full tutorial. Read on.

<b>How to extend your existing WiFi range?</b>
There are two commonly used ways to extend your existing WiFi network:

- Repeaters
- Mesh networks

A WiFi repeater takes the internet's existing signals from your wireless router or the access point (AP) and then rebroadcasts them to create a second home WiFi network. A repeater is also known as a WiFi range extender.

Conversely, to extend the range of your WiFi network, you can configure a mesh network. Well, mesh networks are a set of wireless routers that connect to boost and amplify the WiFi range. You only need a live and active internet connection coming out from your main router and for that you need to place your router openly at a higher shelf. 

<b>Is it possible to extend my WiFi outdoors?</b>
Prior to looking at any solution, you must make sure that extending your existing WiFi range makes sense in the first place.

- First of all, note down the outdoor power sources and other outlets. After that, check the WiFi range inside your home. Also, remember that the devices  next to exterior walls might have a good WiFi range. If there is a wall plug next to the door on your deck, you can only need a device to plug into that outlet for good WiFi coverage.
- Rainfall, humidity, and temperature can interfere with your WiFi signals and reduce the overall internet connectivity.
- Use a Netgear WiFi range extender. Netgear extender setup via mywifiext.net web address provides you the ultimate internet range even in those corners that are declared as dead zones.

<b>To set up your Netgear WiFi range extender:</b>

- You must need a computer or laptop so that you can log in to <a href="https://mywifiextxt.net/">mywifiext</a> and access the mywifiext.net login page.
- But before that, make sure to plug your Netgear WiFi range extender properly into a wall outlet that is near to your existing router.
- Once you are on the login page, click on the <a href="https://mywifiextxt.net/new-extender-setup/">new extender setup</a> button.
- Enter the password into the passphrase field.
- Click on Next.
- Connect your devices with your Netgear extender and click on continue.
- After this, register your device and click on Finish to complete the Netgear extender setup process.

<b>Extending your WiFi range in outdoor areas</b>

- Determine what areas outside your house needs the WiFi signals. You must aim to limit how far your WiFi range extends to stop people you don't want on your home network from attempting to log on.
- Use a weather-resistant WiFi device. In case, you live in a climate with harsh extremes, like high or low temperatures, heavy precipitation, this might be essential to keep your device inside your house.  

So, if you do not draw yourself into such an annoying situation, then you must switch to Netgear WiFi range extender because this is only the device that can provide you internet range even in outdoor areas
