Netgear EX6100v2 Wifi Setup Procedure

There are three different ways to set up your Netgear AC750 WiFi range extender, and you can use any of them. Whichever approach you choose is entirely up to you.

Netgear EX6100v2 Wifi Extender Setup via WPS

Netgear EX6100v2 Extender Setup via Web Browser

The Netgear AC750 setup extender guide starts with the simplest configuration option, which is WPS. The guidelines are as follows:

  • Unpack your Netgear EX6100v2 WiFi range extender first.
  • Before you start setting up the Netgear extender, it is necessary to position it in the same room as the host router.
  • Turn on the power button and insert the power wire into an outlet that is currently powered on.
  • Next, find the WPS button on it and press it.
  • Similarly, press the host router’s WPS button.

Now both gadgets are linked together. And that’s it! The Netgear EX6100v2 is now configured. This method works exclusively with WPS-enabled routers, despite its simplicity. If you don’t have one of these routers, you can utilize any of the aforementioned techniques.

We will now talk about the next technique of setting up a Netgear extender, which is called the web browser approach because it requires you to use mywifiext.net to visit the Netgear login page on a browser. These are the guidelines:

  • Turn on the power button of the Netgear EX6100v2 WiFi range extender by plugging it into an operational wall socket.
  • Turn on the host router as well.

  • The Netgear Genie smart setup wizard will then appear.
