If your existing WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band, your Netgear Nighthawk extender attempts to connect to your router’s 5 GHz band the very first time you push the WPS button. If your Netgear Nighthawk WiFi extender did not connect to the existing WiFi router’s 5 GHz band, then repeat the entire “Netgear Wifi Extender Setup Without Wps” process again.
