EX300 wifi extender : WPS led never be solid green

Hie

I connected my extender following the "connect with WPS" way.

It seems to work fine but the WPS led never be solid green ...

Does it mean that WiFi security is not enabled ?

If so, how can I do to activate security ?

Thanks a lot

    Hi egarouf,

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    Thank you for reaching out. We are sorry for not being able to get back to you immediately due to system backlogs. WPS is always light up( blinking or solid). WPS doesn't relate to the wireless security of your extender. If it requires a password to connect to your wireless extender, it means that it's secured. During the setup, you are asked to enter the wireless security of the router, it allows you to select your own wireless settings or copy the wireless settings of your main router. 

     

     

    Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need further assistance. 

     

    Regards,
