Re: EX6120 Firmware update check never completes

9 years later and remarkably this bug in the EX6120 still exists in the latest firmware. When the extender is configured to connect to the router over both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, clients can only connect to the extender via one band.

When the extender is configured to connect to the router over only one band, clients can connect to the extender via both bands.

I wasted a lot of time before I eventually found this post, which is frustrating to say the least. But well done tsheeley for identifying the issue.

FURRYe38, why have you combined my posts into one thread with an End of Service notice? Are you aware that the EX6120 is not End of Service yet?

  Mods put your thread together. I just commented. Had it removed. If it's not EoL. I presumed incorrectly.

    I see. Two of the posts in this thread are now completely unrelated to the topic title now, so I'm unsure what has been achieved here.
