can't set up wifi extender!
Hi, we recently bought a AC1200 dual band wifi range extender for our sons bedroom at the top of our house but can't get it set up.. it won't work via WPS connection or through the www.mywifiext.net ...

The router is set up and works fine with all other equipment in the house.. just that the signal is very weak in the top bedrooms.. trying to set the extender up in the same room as the router so it can’t be out of range but still no luck!

Are you saying you can't set it up even when the extender and the client you are using for set up are in the same room as the router?
What model do you have? Your post title says AC1200, but the EX6120 in the model field is rated at AC750.
- oddbod78Dec 25, 2018AspirantFinally managed to get it set up.. I’m usually quite good with this sort of technology but it was much harder than it needed to be.. some of the instructions could have been a bit better on the set up guide too but got there in the end.. thanks to anyone who tried to help!
