EX3700 Range extender setup not working (disconnecting from NETGEAR_EXT WiFi after hitting "WLAN-Rep

Hi guys,

Iam experiencing issues with a brand new EX3700 which Iam trying to setup as "WLAN-Repeater" (Range extender).

With the factory resetted device Iam connecting to "NETGEAR_EXT" and creating an account.

After logging in with the account I choose "WLAN-Repeater" setup, a couple of seconds later I get kicked out of the NETGEAR_EXT WiFi.

 

I made a short GIF showing the way I used, GUI is German but it shouldn't be a issue ;)

 

Btw. hitting "Access Point" is working like expected...

 

EDIT:

Tested with Firmware V1.0.0.64_1.0.43 and V1.0.0.68_1.0.45.

Unfortunately Iam not able to flash EX3700-EX3800_V1.0.0.70_1.0.46.chk, keeps saying file is not correct, tried to download it 5 times and extraced via 7-Zip, WinRAR and Windows integrated extract function...

    Setting up the WLAN Repeater via ethernet cable worked like expected.
