The setup process of Netgear range expander (extender) is meant for helping users to increase the coverage of existing WiFi range. It is the best technology to increase or improve the existing signal strength without making a big hole in your pocket.

Well, two main methods can be used for setting up a range extender.
Manual Method and WPS Method

If your wireless network supports WPS (WiFi-Protected Setup) then follow the steps below to set up your Netgear device making use of the WPS button.
1. Press and hold the WPS button on the Extender for a couple of seconds. The WPS LED light on front panel of your signal booster will blink.
2. Now, within a few minutes, press the WPS button on your main wireless router, as well. Wait for at least a few minutes while the range extender connects to your main wireless network.
3. The WPS LED on your wireless repeater turns to solid green and the 2.4GHz Link Rate LED will light up.
