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...
Hello SpecialK214,
Were you able to successfully get your extender connected to the RAX200? You can confirm this by checking the attached devices on the RAX200 web admin page.
Thanks,
Christian
Hi Christian,
I did not have an issue connecting my NG Extender to my NG router. The issue is the annoying, contantly blinking, WPS light. I spent 2 hours on the phone with NG support. We went through a complete reinstall of the RAX200 Router and 7700 Extender. It was a waste of time, as the WPS light still blinks contantly. It seems, that NG has a flaw in their software. I have my Router set with the Smart Connect feature, to allow the Router to choose the 2.4 gHz or 5G radio as a device connects. When set this way, the WPS light constantly blinks. I wish that NG would provide a fix for this in the next firmware update.
Thanks!
Hi Christian,
To add, factory reset and resetting up the router, makes no difference. The WPS light constantly blinks. After 2 hours with support, the tech finally said this was normal. This should not be considered "normal". I have never encounter this before with prior NG routers. And I prefer the Smart Connect feature, which I used on my prior NG router.
Thanks!
