AC1200 EX6120 Dual Band Range Extender Internet only on 5ghz
I purchased 2 of the AC1200 Dual Band Range Extenders Model 6120. The problem I have with both of them is that I do not have internet access on the 2.4ghz extended network. There are 2 ways to setup the device, WPS and manually through mywifiext.net. I tried WPS on one of them and manual setup on the other, both with the same result. In the end I can only connect to the 5ghz extended network. When I try and connect to the 2.4 ghz extended network it says no internet access. In the mywifiext setup both extended networks show connected and broadcasting. I have upgraded the firmware on both devices, factory reset both devices, and reset them both up manually one at a time, with only one plugged in at a time. My router firmware is up to date and can connect devices to my regular 2.4 and 5ghz networks without issue. Thanks for the help!

Hi CudaDude,
Try to modify wireless channel on 2.4GHz of your router and check if it works.
