How do I install my NETGEAR WiFi range extender as an access point? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
It happens when I use my mobile device (I also tried to complete the setup on my PC and it was unsuccessful). After I select the AP option, attached is the message I received.
When I follow the instructions you posted, ie. having the ethernet cable plugged in while in set-up, it does not want to open the set-up window.
