Depends on how you plan to connect the EX6150 to the router.

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Look for the model number on the label on the device. (There are two versions of the EX6150, V1 and V2.)
That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.
Begin with the Quick Start/Installation Guide.
