Router WPS light

Have installed a EX2700(N300 range) W-fi extender ok , but the green WPS light on the main  router has gone off ,is this normal or should it remain constantly on after the inital setup ?

    It is normal behavior on the Huawei HG533
    "The WPS indicator of the HG533 becomes on from the blinking state, indicating that the HG533 is connected to your PC through the WLAN. This state lasts 300s. Then the WPS indicator turns off"

    For NETGEAR routers, by default the WPS would be solid on a connection

    Hi 24008943,

     

    Which router is connected to the EX2700?
    Are you able to access internet now both on the EX2700 or on your router?

      Hi , my router for my desktop pc is a Hauweii HG533 , also i can access the internet on the pc and also on my ipad downstairs where i have situated the extender.

      It all seems to be working ok,but was just wondering if its normal  for the router WPS green light to now be off after the inital setup,the extender WPS light is on all the time which i assume is normal.
