AC1200 Wifi Range Extender not compatible with FIOS? EX6200 VZ saying I need an additional coax
Hi - Bought the AC1200 EX6200 Netgear Wifi extender today.
Pressed WPS on both the extender and the wifi router, and appropriate indicators light up solid green.

I was able to finally connect to the extender, I figured out the pw was the same as my wifi pw. But still the Mywifiext.net site tells me I'm not connected. Any ideas?
All lights (direct connect, 2G, 5G) are steady green. Extender is 6 inches from router, and I have an ethernet cable between the two of them that I know is good.
So after contacting support via chat (on Thanksgiving morning no less!), turns out that the fact that I was attempting to connect with my ethernet+WiFi desktop was the problem. If you connect to the extender on a machine that has both ethernet and WiFi, the machine may appear to be connect to WiFi, but actually be using the ethernet connection. Once I switched to my laptop, i was able to get onto the miwifiext.net site.
