AC750 WPS light not lit but status shows WPA2-PSK[AES] Encryption for both bands
After automatic firmware update to latest available version (V1.0.1.90), the new "enable one wifi name" option, apparently the default setting, became active. My wireless printer had been configured...
I just solved my own problem. When I reviewed all the wireless settings in detail, I noted that the checkbox for using a WPS pin was checked. I had always left that box unchecked in the past. I unchecked the box and saved the new setting. When the extender digested the changed setting, all lights, including the WPS once again glow solid green. I verified that WPS encryption was still active on the status page and all is well again. I'm thinking of unchecking the option for automatic updating of firmware. At least if I manually update the firmware and things begin to behave differently, I'm not as surprised when there are significant changes in the way the extender behaves. Given that I registered the extender when I purchased it, it would have been nice to get an e-mail from netgear, alerting users to the new firmware, the changes they should anticipate, and perhaps even an update user document for future reference.
