EX6100v2 Set up as access point. Wont connect to iphone or android but will connect to laptops.
I setup the EX6100v2 as an access point. Can access the internet on my laptop using the new Hotspot I setup. And also used another laptop on the new network and it worked. But it will not allow cell phones to connect to the new network. Tried both Iphone and Samsung cell phones. Any ideas?

What router is it connected to?
what firmware is on the extender?
What error are you getting from the phones/tablets?

What suggests that the exrender is the iossue?
What is the difference between the working and non working stuff. Is it a wired (works) versus wifi (fails) thing?
You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to
Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems and has nothing to do with the EX6100v2. (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)
Many questions apply to different types of device, so you might get responses here, but you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
