The Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) method makes setting up your Netgear Extender easy and handy. To quickly set up and use your extender, follow simple steps:
1- Power On the Extender
Plug in your Netgear Extender and ensure it’s within range of your existing Wi-Fi network.
2- Plug the extender into a power source.

After turning on the extender, check the lights. A light that looks like a router or “2GHz” and/or “5GHz” lights will show up, depending on the type of extender. One or more of the lights must be green or yellow for the extender to be able to speak to the router. When the light is red, move the extender closer to the router until it stops being red.
6- Connect Your Device
The extender applies your settings. This can take a few minutes.
The extender displays the WiFi network name (SSID) and password for each of your extender’s bands. Take note of these.
You need to go to the WiFi settings on the device you want to connect to the extender’s new network and connect to it.
Back in your web browser, check the box at the bottom of the page, and then click or tap Next.
