Netgear EX6110 Setup, _2GEXT / _5GEXT Networks, WPS & Login
EX6110 is an AC1200 dual-band range extender. Its supplied quick-start guide places special emphasis on building separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz extended networks and explains the resulting _2GEXT and _5GEXT SSID names.
1. Netgear EX6110 Overview
EX6110 differs from the EX3110 content strategy by focusing on dual-band network naming and two-stage WPS. If the router supports 5 GHz, the guide explicitly tells you to repeat WPS for the second band. The extended SSIDs inherit the router name and append _2GEXT or _5GEXT.
2. Netgear EX6110 setup Guide
Power EX6110 near the router. Press WPS on the extender, then WPS on the router within two minutes. Repeat the process for 5 GHz when supported. Without WPS, join NETGEAR_EXT and launch the NETGEAR installation assistant at mywifiext.net. After configuration, move the extender and use the Router LED to confirm a usable link.
