Does your WiFi router have a WPS button?
WPS is an easy way to connect WiFi devices. The button might look like one of these:

Press the Power button if necessary.
2. Connect to the extender.
Press the WPS button on the extender. The WPS LED blinks green.
Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your WiFi router. When the extender
connects to the router the WPS LED lights solid green.
After a few seconds, the Link Status LED and the Maximum throughput LED light solid
green, indicating a good connection between your WiFi router and your extender. If the
Link Status LED or the Maximum Throughput LED does not light, try again. If the LEDs
still does not light, follow the instructions for No (or not sure) on the right.
Note: If your router is a dual-band router, your extender attempts to connect to the
router’s 5 GHz band first.
3. Choose a location and check the signal strength.
Now that the extender is connected to your WiFi router, you can move it to a location
that will boost your WiFi range. The location that you choose must be within the range
of your existing WiFi router network.
The Link Status LEDs help you choose a spot where the extender-to‑router connection
is optimal. For more information, see LED Descriptions on the back of this quick start
guide.
If you get no connection or a poor connection, move the extender closer to your WiFi
router and try again until the Link Status LED lights green.

coverage. Find and connect your WiFi-enabled computer mobile device to the new
extended network.

to the extender network called NETGEAR_EXT. When you are connected to the
extender, the Client LED lights solid green.
