- Hardware Version: EX6400v2
- Firmware Version: 0.0.124
Router is connected wirelessly to Spectrum WiFi router
It is on Extender mode
I have tried different cables
have you tried factory resetting and re-installing?
I have tried factory restore several times.
Shouldn't I be able to plug a Cat6 cable into ethernet port on device and plug cable into computer and see a connection?

A couple things you can try.
1. swap cables or try a different device. maybe its not the extender
2. re-install the firmware. a reset only removes settings. if the firmware was corrupt for some reason, a reset doesn't overwrite it.
3. downgrade the firmware.
4. open a support case if you're still within warranty. maybe the ports bad.
I tried multiple cables and devices.
reinstalled firmware without help
reverted firmware no help
out of support 3-1-20
