Connect with WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join a secure WiFi network without typing the
network name and password. For help with the WPS button on your WPS-enabled
device, check the instructions or online help that came with that device. Some older
equipment cannot use WPS.
Note: WPS does not support WEP network security or a hidden SSID network. If your
existing WiFi network uses WEP security or its SSID is hidden, follow the instructions in
Connect with the NETGEAR installation assistant on page 17.
To use WPS to connect the extender to your WiFi router:
1. Press the WPS button on the extender until the WPS LED blinks.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router.
When the extender connects to your existing WiFi network, the WPS LED on the
extender lights.
If the Router Link LED lights green, the connection between the router and extender
is good. If the Router Link LED lights amber or red, move the extender closer to the
router and try again.
