AC1900 Wifi Extender help
I have tried many, many factory resets, I have unplugged and plugged the extender, I have moved outlets, I have moved rooms with the extender and I cannot fix my issue. If I plug in the extender ...
What router are you connecting it to?
It wouldn't be the first time that a factory reset hasn't worked. But I still have to ask, are you pushing and holding reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on? I fequently see people just click the button.
I am trying to connect it to my Nighthawk XR500. I have rebooted this router through the app, unplugged it, plugged it back in and turned off the wifi with the manual button on the router and turned it back on. I have tried having the router connected locally and setting up the extender and having it set to anywhere access as well. Still no luck.
I am pushing the reset while it is plugged in for up to 40 seconds (saw someone wrote that cured their problem on this site). The power button flashes amber.
