AC1200 Wifi Extender Can't Connect to Xfinity Gateway
Hello, I am having trouble getting my Xfinity Gateway (XB8-T) to recognize my wifi extender. Sadly, it was connecting fine with the old gateway model and I was upgraded for free and now can't get i...
I ended up ordering a new Wi-Fi extender, different brand and it was simple to connect and is working great. I can only assume something crapped out with the netgear. I didn’t want to go with the pods in case I ever change network providers. Luckily it worked at half the cost of the pods
(This is "me". Having problems getting my regular Netgear account to log in.)
Did not read the Amazon page correctly and ordered an EX6120 instead of the EX6150v2. $30 is my "magic limit" for Forum questions. If a product costs under $30, I often buy one just to test.
So, the EX6120 connected just like my EX3700 did. WAIT (for almost 40 seconds) for the power LED to turn from red to green. Press the WPS button. Press WPS button on my router. WAIT... WAIT... FINALLY Router LED turns green and the EX6120 appears on my list of Attached Devices.
One thing different about the EX6150v2 is the switch to change from Extender to AP mode. Can you double check how this switch is set?
Thats very kind of you.
The switch is set to Extender. And I did all the things you mention. The WPS button and its just not connecting. Sometimes i get a red long blink of the router light on the extender, then it goes off and nothing. More often, I dont even get that.
