Can't connect to Netgear EX6200 via LAN / ethernet port?

Hello - I have tried plugging two different computers into one of the 5 LAN ports on the EX6200.  Neither of them get a connection (like the EX6200 does not provide the DHCP result).  So I cannot access the www.mywifiext.net web page - I'm trying to test out the extender via the LAN connection.

 

This should be straightforward according to the manual, but it's clearly not working.  Any ideas?

    Hi alchemista,

     

    Please try resetting the EX6200 back to factory defaults (page 78 of 124):

    http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/EX6200/EX6200_UM_09Jan2015.pdf

    Insert a straightened paper clip into the hole of the Restore Factory Settings button and hold it for about seven seconds

    Release the button.The extender resets and restarts. This process takes about one minute.

     

    Is the EX6200 broadcasting a WiFi signal for the network "NETGEAR_EXT" ?
