Netgear EX6100 Setup | AC750

WiFi-Protected Setup (WPS) is a one-touch setup solution. This configuration option allows users to execute the Netgear EX6100 setup within 5 minutes. It is quite simple to execute a Netgear WPS setup. However, if you are using this quick setup option for the very first time, you might encounter some difficulties. To avoid any sort of difficulties and interruptions during the WPS setup, you should focus on the following steps.

Things to Consider Before Getting Into the WPS Setup Process

Before rolling on, make sure both the Extender and Router are at a closer distance. If they are placed more than 20 ft. of the distance from each other, you may find it difficult to establish a successful connection. Secondly, you need to make sure that you are not using an inactive or short-circuited power outlet. Apart from this, check if the device that you want to extend has a WPS functionality.

Steps to Follow to Execute Netgear EX6100 Setup

• Plug in the Extender and then power it on.
• Plug in the Router and switch it on as well.
• Locate the WPS button on the AC750 Netgear EX6100 Extender and then gently push it.
• Locate the WPS button on the router and then push it within 2 minutes. (if you press the WPS button a little late, you need to restart the WPS setup process)
• Wait for a few seconds. If you notice a blinking WPS LED on the extender, the setup process is in progress. A stable green WPS LED is the indication that the setup is completed.
• When you notice a solid green WPS LED, move your devices to a strong network location and power cycle them.

That’s all. Now, enjoy high-speed and seamless internet connection all across your home. You will now not have to search for the network range at different corners of your home anymore. However, if the setup process is not executed correctly, you may not be able to connect a client device to the new WiFi Extender Network.

In this case, try executing the Netgear EX6100 setup again using either the WPS method or another setup option.

• Connect your Netgear EX6100 WiFi Extender network to a client device (PC or phone). For that, go to the device’s Wi-Fi settings> search for the available networks> select NETGEAR_EXT. from the network list> use the default password to connect to the network.
