To access the AP setup page, the user may need to type "ap.setup" into their web browser's address bar in some cases. This address may also be included in the device's documentation or on a sticker attached to the device.

How to set up my Extender with the help of the WPS button?

WPS is the simplest way to set up your extender because it only requires the use of the WPS button.
