Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

Kindly try using WPS from the NETGEAR Mobile App.

Here's a reference link:

[page 53] https://www.netgear.com/images/InstallationGuide/mobile/MR1100ATT/MR1100ATT-USERS-MANUAL.pdf

May we please know the repeater's model number?

Hi Bianca,

Thanks for the response. Downloaded the Netgear Mobile App and unfortunately the "WPS" button is absent in both 5 and 2.4 bands in this utility as well. Oh, and the Model number is MR1100 (specified above).

thanks,

Rick

  Hi buckwalter
  
  Thank you for responding, Rick! Let me check this with the product team.
  
  As I understand, you are trying to connect a repeater to the MR1100 using the WPS method. Is there an option on the repeater to scan for networks and enter the WiFi password?

    Hi Bianca,
    
    After posting, I did indeed pair the repeater to the hotspot via paired connection from my laptop to the repeater. If ever, for some reason the repeater and the hotspot become unpaired, I would still like the convenience of the WPS option for the rest of my family. Thanks!
