EX6120-100NAS

I need some feedback / assistance regarding the set up & installation of the AC 1200 Dual Band WIFI Extender, Model EX6120-100NAS.

I initially attempted to connect to my existing network via "connect with WPS" but this disabled my current network instead.

Please provide tips / directional assistance on how to "connect with WPS" so that I do not disable access to my home network. I had to contact "Century Link" to reconnect me a few months ago.

Century Link is our internet service provider in the Eustis, Florida community where we reside.

thanks in advance for the "community support" feedback / assistance.

Ken

    Maybe your main router doesn't have a wps button. Some don't. 

    In that case you can use the smart installation wizard to setup your device instead of wps. 

    The support site has a walk through video and the manual has a written guide for setting up via wps. I'd try watching the video. I usually prefer to use the smart connect wizard over wps anyway. 

    here's the support site with that video and the instructions.
