How to Install Actiontec WCB6200Q
Installing the Actiontec WCB6200Q wireless range extender is a simple and straightforward process that will help you improve the coverage of your home or office WiFi network. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
- First, you will need to locate a spot to place your range extender that is within range of your existing WiFi network. This will ensure that the range extender can communicate with your router and repeat its signal.
- Next, plug the range extender into a power outlet near the chosen location. Wait a few minutes for it to power on and initialize.
- Once the range extender is powered on, you will need to connect a device (such as a laptop or smartphone) to the range extender’s WiFi network. You can find the name of the WiFi network and the password on the bottom or side of the range extender.
- After connecting to the range extender’s WiFi network, open a web browser and go to the range extender’s login page. The login page can usually be accessed by typing “192.168.1.1” or “mywifiext.net” into the address bar.
- Enter the default login credentials, which are usually “admin” for both the username and password. If the default login credentials have been changed, you will need to reset the range extender to the factory default settings.
- Once you are logged in, you will be presented with the range extender’s configuration page. From here, you can customize the range extender’s settings, such as the name and password of the WiFi network it creates, the security type, and more.
- To set up the range extender, click on the “Wireless Range Extender” option in the menu. Then, select the name of your existing WiFi network from the list of available networks.
- Enter the password for your existing WiFi network, and then click on the “Connect” button. The range extender will now be connected to your existing WiFi network and will begin repeating its signal.
- After the range extender has been successfully connected, you can unplug it and move it to its desired location. Make sure to place it within range of your existing WiFi network.
- Finally, you can test the range extender by connecting to the WiFi network it creates and seeing if you can access the internet from areas that were previously out of range. If you are having trouble connecting, try moving the range extender to a different location or adjusting its settings.
By following these steps, you should be able to easily install and set up the Actiontec WCB6200Q wireless range extender and extend the coverage of your home or office WiFi network.

Here it is, the answer to connecting your system for Long Island Optimum online cable users. This product works great when hooked up right. The secret is having POE filters installed on the cable in to your cable box. You will also need the Actiontec Bonded MoCA 2.0 Ethernet to Coax Adapter (ECB6200S02) for the extender to work. You’re welcome.

UPDATE: If you bought WCB6200Q one of the first things you should do after the WPS step is to update your firmware from 1.1.10.20 to the latest 1.1.10.20a.t. Search “WCB6200Q Firmware Upgrade” and you will find the instructions and file to update your extender. Also one thing I forgot to mention was to make sure you check your incoming splitter that is outside located after your fios box. You need to change it out to a MOCA-Compliant splitter from the regular one for this to work. Can confirm the “The Holland Electronics” splitter with the blue label works wellReview:Was using cheap plugin wifi extenders to fill in dead areas around my house. Was always resetting these plugin extenders because they kept disconnecting so I looked for a better solution and found the Actiontec Wifi Extender WCB6200Q. Some of the things I was looking for was a consistent reliable wired connection, Ethernet capable, easy setup/plug and play situation and lastly an extender that would be totally compatible with Frontier FiosEasy SetupSuper easy using the instructions that came with the box. First plugged the new extender into my G1100 router using an Ethernet cable then plugged the extender into my computer using another Ethernet cable then plugged in the power cord. I then waited till the extender light turned green on top..at that point I pressed the WPS green light on the extender for 10 seconds till it turned red and started blinking then i pressed the WPS button on the G1100 router for 3 seconds and started blinking. In less than 10 seconds the extender found my router and connected. Another thing the WPS process does is change the extenders name and password to match the routers name and password but adds and “ext” on the end of the name to differentiate it. Finally after getting setup I updated the firmware which can be found on the actiontec website.ResultsI now have a solid wifi extender that is reliable and bulletproof that works in the dead areas of my house. WIFI speeds are almost consistent with my wired speeds. 50/50 but the thing I like most is I haven’t had to reset anything. Everythings working as it should out the box and I dont have to deal those terrible cheap wifi extenders anymore.In the boxWifi ExtenderPower adapterBonded Moca Splitter6ft Ethernet cable3ft Coax CableInstructions
