Netgear AC1200 EX6120 Setup – WPS Method

In order to perform the Netgear AC1200 EX6120 setup using WPS:

Power on the Netgear AC1200 mesh extender (EX6120).
Place the extender and WiFi router in the same room.

Press the WPS button on the extender.
Now, press the WPS button on your WiFi router.

Note: If your router supports the 5 GHz band, your extender attempts to connect to the router’s 5 GHz band once you press the WPS button for the very first time. If your extender did not connect to the router’s 5 GHz band the first time, it may result in a lot of issues during the Netgear extender EX6120 setup.

Move your extender to a new location you like.
Take your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to the location with poor WiFi router coverage.
Connect your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to the extended network. Your extender uses the same
WiFi network settings as your router for its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz extended networks.

That’s how you can complete your Netgear EX6120 Setup using WPS button. If you come across any type of technical issue during the setup process, feel free to contact our experts.
