WLAN Repeater

Hello, I have bought WLAN repeater because the sygnal from Netgear does't go so far. Old models of Netgear had  WPS button for connections with the repeater, R7000 doesn't have it. WLAN repeater doesn't see new Netgear. How to make so that Netgear communicate with the repeater?

       Maker?  Model number?  Any useful information at all?

     

    > [...] Old models of Netgear [...]

     

       Which?

       _My_ R7000 has one.  Did someone remove yours?

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for the
    LED and button descriptions.  Look for "WPS".  Further reading might not
    hurt, either.

       A vague description of what some unspecified device does _not_ do is
    less useful than a clear description of what _does_ happen.

     

       "doesn't see" is not a useful problem description.  It does not say
    what you did.  It does not say what happened when you did it.  As usual,
    showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
    messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
    descriptions or interpretations.

       You might try this radical concept which works for some people:

     

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM

     

       See above.  Repeat the corresponding actions for your (unspecified)
    "WLAN repeater".

    It is a button on the top.
