cant reconnect ex6150
My ex6150 was working well for a few years but all of a sudden I starting have some issues so I decided to do a factory reset and start over. I havent been able to get it setup since. I am able t...
The fios router is G-1100 Quantum Gateway. I don't see anything about self-organizing gateway but will look further. Thanks!
the G1100 has a wps option through the settings. Have you tried setting them up using wps?
Yes I just tried that. Everything seems to work. All lights are green. But I dont see the new network (ie MyWiFiExample_EXT) after the setup.
I appreciate your suggestion though ... thanks!
The ex6150 is a mesh extender. Meaning it won't have a separate ssid if setup in default or using WPS. It'll have the same exact ssid/password as the primary router and devices can roam between it and the router as needed based on their own roaming protocols. so its not an issue but an expectation. you can disable the mesh function but it means not setting it up using wps.
Ok thanks that makes sense. Is there a way to know when you are connected through the extender rather than directly to the router?
