AC1200 WiFi EX6150V2 will not connect to internet
I was able to get both green lights to be on using WPS. There is no internet when connected to the extended network tho. I have tried Nighthawk but it can't connect to the extender. And won't reco...
1. what router are you connecting to? some isp supplied routers don't play nice with extenders or setup using wps.
2. Did you set via wps? If so, factory reset the extender and redo the setup. But don't use wps. Use the installation wizard.
3. The extender does have an ethernet port. Many times this is faster for setup to connect to the ethernet port and use the setup wizard. Make sure if you go this route, to disable the wifi on the device you connect to the extender or many devices will default back to the working wireless connection.
Again, just make sure to factory reset prior to redoing the setup.
Thanks for responding! Unfortunately, this device still doesn't seem to work.
I'm using a hitron e31n2v1 modem that is connected to a Sagemcom 802.11ac wave 2 router.
I reset the netgear device. I didn't have a ethernet port on the apple computer I was initially using, but was able to get a pc out of storage to try again. I connected the extender to the PC with an ethernet cable and followed the instructions for the setup genie.
Using the ethernet cable did get me through the process of choosing my network. Sadly, when I connect to the extenstion networks, the internet doesn't work. Both lights are green.
Are there any other options? Should I just give up on having an extender at all or is there another device that will work?
