wifi extender setup
I am trying to setup a wifi extender (actiontec wcb6200q) with my nighthawk c7100v modem. However, the coax light is not lighting up on my extender nor is it able to sync with my modem using the WPS ...
The C7100v doesn't have MoCa.
Not sure if the actiontec wcb6200q supports just wireless extension. You'd have to contact the manufacturer to find that out and how to set that aspect of it up.
I used these instructions:

I already contacted the actiontec and they stated the device is working properly since I connected it to the modem and to my laptop and there was internet. The coax light is not working and they said to contact netgear about that. Is this because my modem is using the coax line and I cannot use multiple coax lines in the same house? If so, would a coax splitter work?
Its because the C7100V doesn't have MoCa. The instructions specifically state it should support MoCa.
I screen snipped that part.
RIght thank you, so should I buy a moca adapter and that would work?
