Connect with WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join a secure WiFi network
without typing the network name and password.
WPS does not support WEP network security. If you are using WEP
security, follow the instructions in Connect with NETGEAR genie
Smart Setup on page 8.
1. Press the WPS button on the side panel of the extender.
The WPS LED blinks.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router or access
point.
The WPS LED on the extender lights solid green, the Router Link
LED lights, and the extender connects to your existing WiFi
network.
Note: If the Router Link LED does not light, try again. If it still
does not light, see Connect with NETGEAR genie Smart Setup
on page 8.
3. Find the new extender network name.
The extender’s wireless network name (SSID) changes to your
existing WiFi network name, with _EXT at the end of the name,
for example:
• Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
