How to setup EX6100 using WPS?

Follow the steps below to move forward with the process:
- Take your Netgear EX6100 out of the box and turn it on.
- Place your AC750 near your router.
- Once the power LED stays solid green.
- Press your repeater’s WPS button.
- Press the WPS button on the router a few seconds later.
Note:- If your router supports the 5 GHz band, when you press the WPS button for the first time, your extender will try to connect to the 5 GHz band. If your extender doesn’t connect to the router’s 5 GHz band the first time, it could cause a lot of problems during the installation process.
- If all of the LEDs on the extender light up green, it means that it has been set up correctly.
- Move the booster to a new spot with dead zones and connect your smart devices to it.
