Problem with setup for Model EX6120

Question

My router has wps and after I plug in my extender and turn on the wps on the router and extender, the light on the router stays blinking and then turns off.&nbsp; It never stays green indicating the connection.&nbsp; What am I doing wrong and how can I get it connected???

My router to the WIFI extender...

What wireless security do you have on the router? WEP won't work with WPS.
&nbsp;
Are you doing it in the right order?
&nbsp;
Any chance that WPS is disabled in the router?
&nbsp;
There is a manual for the device somewhere at the end of this link-
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
See page 11.

It might be easier to do it with the web browser.

I think I am such a beginner, I don't know what I don't know.&nbsp; How do I connect my router to my computer or extender?&nbsp; Wireless security? WEP vs WPS?&nbsp; How do I know if my WPS is disabled?&nbsp; Would Comcast be able to help?&nbsp; they are my wifi provider?&nbsp; I called the technical support for Netgear and it will cost approximately $100. to provide technical assistance because I never called in the first 90 days.&nbsp; I feel like I should just throw the extended in the garbage... I have spent so many hours and have gotten nowhere.

Visit the link I posted earlier and get a copy of the Quick Start&nbsp; guide.
&nbsp;
It is pretty straightforward stuff.
&nbsp;
You'll find out if WPS is enabled when you press the button on the router. If it flashes, it is on.
&nbsp;
Be careful with pressing that button. "Press the button for about 5 to 10 seconds until the WiFi LED blinks amber."
&nbsp;
That's in the manual for the R6120:
