Netgear EX2800 Setup: WPS Method
The Netgear EX2800 WPS setup process allows you to configure your WiFi range extender without having to type in the network name or password. This is the simplest way to configure your EX2800 extender. All routers do not support WPS. If your router lacks a WPS button, you’ll have to connect your extension using another technique. Other methods are detailed in the article below.
To configure your Netgear EX2800 through WPS, follow the instructions below:
- Press the EX2800’s WPS button until the WPS LED blinks.
- Within the next two minutes, press the WPS button on your router.
- When your EX2800 connects to the router, the WPS LED on the extender becomes green.
- The router LED on the booster should also become green.
- If the Router LED does not light up green, you may need to contact our support team.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 to connect the extender to the 5 GHz band if your WiFi router supports it.
- Change the placement of your AC750 extension.
- Connect your WiFi-enabled devices to the extended network to take advantage of the uninterrupted services.
It should be noted that the extender produces two new extender WiFi networks. The new WiFi network names for your extender are based on your existing WiFi network name, with _2GEXT and _5GEXT appended at the end.
