Re: Can't connect my N300 to my router via WPS
1. N300 is a speed, not a model
2. What N300 device are you using?
3. Firmware on it?
4. What router are you connecting to? "netgear router" isn't a model.
5. have you tried the smart installation wizard? or just wps?
you can go to netgear.com/support/ type in your actual model number. it'll have install videos, install guides, the manual ,firmware, etc.
its a great resource for new installs.
You also have the option of talking to support for free if its within the 90 days of new purchase. to do so, click "mynetgear" at the top. Register an account and your device. From there you can contact support. Keep in mind, if you're outside of the 90 days, it costs $

EX2700
2. What N300 device are you using?
3. Firmware on it?
No idea, how do I find out?

Nighthawk X6

Just wps. What's smart installation wizard?
Checked the set up video which is great if everything goes to plan, but can't find anything in vids for troubleshooting
I'll try the mynetgear route as well
Thanks

Nighthawk X6----Still not a model. the label has the model number. Potentially the R8000P?
5. have you tried the smart installation wizard? or just wps?
Just wps. What's smart installation wizard?-----2nd video on the support site. Hit the > button on the videos.

Try watching the smart installation video. I'd also try hardwiring into the extender for the setup. it tends to go smoother. Just make sure that if you're using a laptop, to disable its wifi or it'll remain connected to the wifi when you want it connected to the extender.
