Do you have any problems with the manual setup? If such is the case, we will proceed with the Netgear EX5000 Setup using WPS.

Throughout this operation, you will not be required to provide your password, username, or any other information. Both your extension and your router will require you to touch a little button. Let’s have a look at how this works.
