The most basic configuration option—WPS—is where the Netgear AC750 setup extender instruction begins. The following are the guidelines:

  • The Netgear EX6100v2 WiFi range extender should first be unpacked.
  • It is essential to place the Netgear extender in the same room as the host router before beginning any setup.
  • Press the power button to activate it, then plug the power wire into an outlet that has electricity.
  • Next, locate and push the WPS button on it.

Both devices are now connected to one another. That’s it, too! Now, the Netgear EX6100v2 is set up. Though simple, this method only functions with routers that support WPS. You can use any of the previously stated routers if you don’t have one of these.

The second method of configuring a Netgear extender is referred to as the web browser strategy since it necessitates using mywifiext.net to access the Netgear login page using a browser. The rules are as follows:

  • Take the Netgear range extender into the area where the router is situated.
  • Insert the Netgear EX6100v2 WiFi range extender into a working wall socket and press the power button to turn it on.
  • Additionally, turn on the host router.
  • At this step, establish an Ethernet connection between the range extender and the router.
  • To access the Netgear extender login page, use your laptop or computer to visit mywifiext.net.
  • After filling out the required fields on the login screen with the default admin login details, click the Login button.
  • The wizard for Netgear Genie smart setup will then show up.
  • Finally, keep following the directions that show up on your computer screen to complete the Netgear EX6100v2 setup process. 

The second method of setting up the Netgear range extender has now been finished. For more details, refer to the Netgear EX6100v2 user manual or handbook that was included with the equipment. It should be mentioned that the 192.168.1.250 default IP address can also be used to visit the extender login page.
