Range Extender Setup with WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is one of the easiest ways to setup your Range Extender. WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you set up your NETGEAR WiFi range extender with the push of a button. Not all routers support WPS. If your router does not have a WPS button, you must set up your extender with a different method.
To setup a Range Extender with WPS, plug in our your extender near your Router and set it to “Extender” mode. Once powered on with a Green or Blue light click the WPS button on your extender. Next – click the WPS button on your Router. Once they connect together you can move your Extender further away from the Router to extend your WiFi.
