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).
The mywifiext.net just does not work. I have had nothing but problems with netgear equipment. I have an R8000 that constantly loses connection and now this extender problem. Fed up with netgear.
Like you, fedup with NetGear, unable to get any help from them. Thanks to this community, we have knowledgable people willing & ready to help. Unfortunately, in my case, the things I've tried didn't work. My next test will be to disconnect all external connections and ... try again. I've bought a Linksys WRT54GL on sale (new $45.00 CDN). I set it up as an Access Point and it works just fine. Now that everything is working, I'll try that Netgear device again ... some time. No rush!
