EX6120 not recognizing wifi network
I purchased an EX6120 today and am trying to set it up.
My Windows 10 Ent laptop will not work through setup but I do have an old Windows 7 laptop that does allow me to get to the setup menu.
I am trying to get my wifi hotspot from my iphone to connect to the range extender yet the Range Extender does not recognize my wifi from my phone. Is there a way to do this?
FYI what I am trying to achieve is a wired ethernet connection to the range extender for some equipment that I have which requires a wired connection, In other words use my hotspot on my phone to deliver a wired connection to my equipme t. Can this be done?
Please visit and post about this over in the Orbi AX forum:

The User Manual for the RBR750 (not 730) does not contain the word "isolation". I interpret "AP" as meaning only "Access Point", i.e. is the radio on or off.
Page 70 describes enabling Guest WiFi. I believe if "Enable Guest" is unchecked, then that display will change to "Off" for the Guest WiFi.
(Although I do not have an AX model, which is why questions about the AX are usually referred to the AX forum), I believe it is not possible to disable the primary WiFi network. (That is sort of the point of buying a WiFi router: to have WiFi.)
It has always been a mystery to me why Netgear's Orbi product line has so many differences from their Nighthawk line of routers.
If you can please describe the purpose for turning off the primary WiFi network, someone can suggest a solution?
I believe there looking for this which is not supported on Orbi systems:

Thanks for finding that. Actually, the Orbi Guest network offers "isolation" as the default option.
(at least, on my old "original Orbi". My guess is that the AX Orbi does also, but I cannot find anything useful in the user manual.)
