The Netgear EX3700 Extender is Not Properly Set up<\/h3>\n<p>Improper or partial <a href=\"https:\/\/newextendersetup.co\/netgear-ex3700-setup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Netgear EX3700 setup<\/strong><\/a> may result in LED issues. So, make sure to install your Netgear WiFi range extender in a proper manner. Here are the required steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Connect the power adapter of your Netgear EX3700 extender to a wall socket and let the extender turn on.<\/li>\n<li>After that, grab an Ethernet cable and use it to connect your extender to the existing router.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure that the router is also turned on and receiving fluctuation-free power supply.<\/li>\n<li>Use a web browser to access mywifiext.net web-based portal.<\/li>\n<li>The prompted login window will ask for user ID and passphrase.<\/li>\n<li>Once done, hit the Log In button.<\/li>\n<li>Now, the genie smart setup wizard will open. It provides you on-screen instructions to set up your EX3700 WiFi range extender.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Follow them carefully and complete your Netgear EX3700 extender setup. Now, connect all your <a href=\"http:\/\/gonewstech.com\/\">WiFi<\/a>-enabled devices and see whether the device LED is still changing its color or not.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Connectivity Issues With the Router<\/h3>\n<p>In order to fix the changing device light on your Netgear EX3700 extender, be certain that the extender is properly connected to your existing router via an Ethernet cable. Don&#8217;t forget to check the Ethernet cable. In case it is damaged or having cuts, replace it with a new one immediately.<\/p>\n<h3>3. The Location of Your Extender is Not Good<\/h3>\n<p>The next thing to check is the location of your Netgear extender. On the off chance if the EX3700 is placed inside a cabinet, behind an almirah, near concrete walls, or inside a box, then you are going to experience LED issues with it. So, bear in mind to keep the extender in an open area.<\/p>\n<p>Also, there should be a minimum distance between your extender and interference-creating devices like electronic gadgets, reflexive surfaces, metal objects, and water resources. Therefore, once you are done with the new <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/newextendersetup.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netgear extender setup<\/a><\/strong> process, keep your extender in the home while considering the aforementioned things.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Multiple Devices Are Connected to the Extender<\/h3>\n<p>The EX3700 extender includes only single device LED. In the event that you have connected more than one device, the LED is not going to be 100% accurate. You have to log in to your Netgear WiFi extender to see what the actual signal strength is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> The troubleshooting steps remain the same if you are facing device LED issues after <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/newextendersetup.co\/netgear-ex7000-ac1900\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netgear EX7000 setup<\/a><\/strong> or Nighthawk X6 setup.<\/p>\n<p>These were the best possible ways to rectify the device light issues with the Netgear extender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why does the Device Light on Netgear EX3700 Periodically Change?
