The prime topic for today’s discussion is ‘Installing the Netgear Extender2700 using WPS’ method. We will discuss all the steps involved in configuring Netgear Ex2700 in a very simple and easy manner.
WPS stands for Wi-Fi protected setup method. This method is used to connect the device wirelessly to the network through its capability. You don’t need to connect the Ex2700 to the router physically but the Wi-Fi connection will act as an interface between the two.

Now coming to the steps for installing Netgear Ex2700 using the WPS method.

1. The very first step is the placement of an extender near the router. You must place the router and the extender in the same room of your house during the configuration or setup otherwise, you will get connection problem.

2. The next thing to ensure is the stable and working internet connection on the router. If the network is faulty, you can get it fixed by calling internet service providers.

3. There must be a WPS switch given on the router. If the router is not WPS enabled, ...
... then you won’t be able to setup the netgear extender wirelessly or via WPS method.

4. Now, connect the extender to the power supply through the adapter provided in the box. Wait for the power light to become stable. There’s green LED mounted on the front panel of extender.

5. Press the WPS button from the extender for at least 5 seconds. You will find the WPS LED corresponding to it will start blinking fast. This means the extender is trying to establish a connection with the router.

6. After a gap of 1 minute, press the same WPS button from the network router.

7. You will find the LED corresponding to the WPS on the router will start blinking as that in an extender. When the light turns green, it means your extender is successfully connected to router.

8. After step 7, the installation process gets completed and you can pick and place the extender at any location convenient for you. Keep this thing in mind that if you place the extender at dead location or zone, the signal strength will get affected and you won’t be able to use it to the full potential.

9. Start connecting the Wi-Fi devices to the Netgear extender network.

10. Now, you might be wondering to know how to distinguish Netgear extender network from the router’s network? Well, the answer is quite simple. Search for the SSID with extension ‘Ext’ at the end of the device name. Like if the name of the network is mywifiext.net, then the name of extender will be mywifiext.net_Ext.

11. The password for the extender will remain same as that for your router. You can enter ‘Password’ in the password field. This is otherwise the default password.

After implementing the steps mentioned above, you will be able to configure the Netgear Ex2700 on the network. Start connecting the wireless devices to it for seamless connectivity.
