Using WPS with a WiFi Extender

A wifi extender wps connection is a convenient setup route when the router and extender both support Wi-Fi Protected Setup. Follow the timing and button sequence in the model manual, then use the extender signal indicator or app to choose a location. WPS is not available on every router or client, and availability can vary with settings, so a phone app or browser setup is a useful alternative. Before buying, confirm that the extender supports the setup method you prefer and check Wi-Fi security options. Our TP-Link and NETGEAR brand pages list models to compare.
