Will this extender work with a cisco router that does not have a wps button? null

Yes. In the extender configuration webpage, you would need to log in to the original wireless router just like you would on a cell phone, tablet, or laptop. The extender directions explain this fairly well.

I have two different brands of extenders one of these and one a Cisco I think. My main router is a Linksys WRT1900AC Wireless AC Router and I don't even know if it has a wps button and if it does I've never ever used it, never on any of my routers in the past either. What I'm saying is I can only assume it will. It just picks up signal from your main router and amplifies it.

Yes, it works with most current routers. You just will have to manually set it up because you don't have a WPS button function on your current router.

Wake · Answer

It should. Setup without using the WPS button is done through a browser. The device (phone/laptop/etc) is connected to the extender and you are supposed to go to a "website" that will actually be the set up for the extender. The set up includes choosing which router you want to extend the signal of, then choosing a name and password for the new signals. There is also a username and password to keep others from changing the settings, though this can easily be gone around by resetting the device.
