AC1200 Wifi Range Extender Model 6110

Recently purchased the Model EX6110 and I am unable to connect to the Viasat WiFi Gateway.  The Gateway supports WEP and WPA security standards.  The Model EX6110 supports WPS and does not have an ethernet port to directly connect.  The problem is I am unable to obtain the NETGEAR_EXT extender network to utilize Installation Assistant.

 

Any thoughts on a work around?

Thanks!!

    Maybe someone set it up prior. Plug the extender in, push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds. That should reset it back to factory. Then you can try connecting to use the assistant.
