RAX200 - WPS light continues blinking. Already tried rebooting.

I recently installed Netgear CM1150V Modem, RAX200 Router and EX7700 Extender. Everything is set up and working. When connecting my Extender, I used the WPS feature. Now the WPS light on the Route...

I have the same problem.

WPS won't stop blinking. Even after restarting. Reset required, and after pressing WPS, it continues to blink again. (And SmartConnect doesn't work, keeps dropping the connection, and the range is shorter than my 4 year old non-Netgear router, and some devices don't connect at 2.4 GHz.)

Hardwareversion	RAX200

Firmwareversion	V1.0.2.8_1.0.45

Hi Yeronimo,

Were you attempting to connect an extender or any other device via WPS?

Hi Christian,

I have successfully connected a FRITZ! 1750E WLAN repeater via WPS. But RAX 200 WPS does not stop blinking, only after a factory reset. And one thing is for sure, this is obviously NOT a completely normal behavior, as stated in the post of April 29th.

Best regards,

Yeronimo

  Hi JPaquette & Yeronimo,
  
  May you try performing a factory reset on the router by holding down on the reset button with a pin for 15+ seconds. After doing so, you will be prompted to run through the setup assistant again. Please let me know the outcome.
  
  Thanks,

    Hi Christian,
    
    I did that many times. Factory reset, then it stops blinking. But when you press the WPS button again, it doesn't stop blinking.
