3. The lights on your new extender will change to solid green if the connection of the adapter is made right.
4. Locate the WPS button on extender and press and hold for a couple of seconds.
5. After releasing the WPS button, the wps LED light will start flashing. Now, you will need to press the WPS button on your home router to which you wish to connect the extender.
6. The light will turn to solid green on your netgear Wi-Fi booster. This green LED light is a sign that the wi-fi booster is successfully connected to the router.
7. Now if it is a case that your home router is supporting 5ghz, you need to repeat step 3 and it will help you get much better network coverage.
