Panoramic WiFi
Just installed in February. Worse internet than the old Arris Modem provided by Cox with an Orbi router and Satellite. I am trying to install an Extender Netgear EX6100 (which is AC750 technology) to hopefully get internet to parts of the house that had just fine internet with the old system - without any luck.
Questions: Since I have had this extender for quite a while, where do I search to find out if it is compatible with the Panoramic Wifi Router?
Where is the WPS? There is no button with that symbol on it.
And while I am at it, how do I find the specs for the new router. A post indicated that it could be found within the Cox Wifi app under advanced. I am not that technical and much of what is there doesn't mean anything to me. I'd just like to know the manufacturer and the wifi # - 5 or 6 if that is a valid question.
Might be a really obvious question but is Gateway being used in the generic form or was it manufactured by Gateway?

It's the button on the back above the telephone ports. See post here for picture.
Manufacture is Technicolor assuming you have the latest Wifi 6E model. The model number should be printed on the same sticker as the network name and password.
Generic. A gateway is a modem router combo unit, usually has phone too.

BTW, why did you get the gateway? I thought they sell modems now for 179$ which is the SB8200. If you have your own router then I suggest replacing the gateway with a modem or a phone modem(eMTA) if you have phone service.
