AC750 EX6100 - New Extender Setup recycles back
Hi There, I need a help. I have a AC750 EX6100 wireless range extender and using it as an extender for a while. When ever I logged to the extender, it was displaying "New Firmware available". Init...
Problemn Resolved:
Took the extnder back next to the router and did a reset, twice (amber light blinking). Than unplugged and waited 10 seconds and replugged. Started sequence again. worked. started WPS worked. Stayed close to router. Setup worked. Device recognized need to update firmware and did so now shows 1.0.2.6, although it told me it was updating to 1.0.3.x. Have to be patient and when you think it has finished, wait another minute. Always watch for a solid green router light at the end and start of each process step. It may go off inbetween but that is okay. Also check your router whitelist, and turn off during steps. I do not see any further or setting access once the process is complete, it just than says Success and shows the new connection(s).
Unable to login to extender.
When I selected http://www.mywifiext.net site, It displayed a page with button [ New Extender Setup ].
I selected the button and the browser displayed "Create New Account Window".
I filled the form and press the [ Next ], the NetGear page is re-displayed.
Tried:
1. Ccleared the browser cache and tried again.
2. Ttried different browsers.
3. Ttried different PC's.
4. Ttried different PC's with different Operating Systems (Windows 7 & Ubuntu Linux).
5. Tried my Cell Phone. It said (once) "You have successfully created an access point", but still could not login to the EX6100!
6. Bought a new Router and set it up as an Access Point without any problem. Used the same Ethernet connection with the EX6100, still can not set it up.
7. Setup the EX6100 as Network Extender. It works fine, but still cannot login to it by any means.
8. Set to Factory Default ... again ... still Unable to Login!

Firmware Version is the latest from NetGear!
Hello Rbscycle
Have you tried to connect to the extender using its assigned ip address you typically can find it in the routers settings where it shows your network map or attached devices once you have the IP put that into a web browser see if that works.
