8. Reconnect your computer or mobile device to the new extender WiFi network.

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 13.
To use WPS to connect the extender to your WiFi router:
1. Press the WPS button on the extender.
The WPS LED blinks.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router or access point.
When the extender connects to your existing WiFi network, the WPS LED on the
extender lights solid green and the Router Link LED lights.
If the Router Link LED lights solid green, the connection between your router and
extender is good. If the Router Link LED doesn't light, move the extender closer to
the router and try again.
If it still does not light, see Connect with the NETGEAR installation assistant on page
13.
Note: If your router supports the 5 GHz band and your extender didn't connect to
that band, repeat the WPS process.
