> Can i connect EX6100 extender to router without netgear genie?
EX6100 or EX6100v2? Look at the product label.
What, exactly, does "netgear genie" mean to you? Ever helpful, Netgear uses the name "Genie" for more than one thing. Netgear routers have a web-browser interface called "Genie", and Netgear offers application programs for various computers/tablets/phones, which are also called "Genie". (I'd stick with the web-browser interface.) Whether any of that applies to an extender is a different question.
If you're looking for product-relevant information, then there's a forum for extenders:
"tried WPS" is not a very detailed description of what you did. "dosnt work" is not a very detailed description of what happened when you did whatever you did. Neither is 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 with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.

Here's a radical idea: Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Further reading might also be helpful.

I'd do a settings reset before doing anything else. Look for "Factory Default Settings" or "Reset" in the User Manual.

I don't know what that means. (Where did you get this idea?)

Still not clear.
Did you try reading the EX6100 User Manual? Does it mention "genie" anywhere? Did you try following the instructions which are provided there, rather than trying to follow your "My idea of the genie"?
