EX6100 always defaults to "NEW EXTENDER SETUP" when entering it's IP address in browser.

Hi community,  Hoping someone has the solution please.

 

My EX6100 always defaults to "NEW EXTENDER SETUP" when entering it's IP address in browser.  Not only that if I then enter try to complete the password and security questions, the "NEXT: remains greyed out and unable to proceed to next page. Only the "BACK" button is active to click on.

 

Previously to this problem, I did a firmware update and since then, the EX6100 stopped working completely.

 

1. I did a factory reset and unable to setup.

2. I have tried using url's mywifiext.net or mywifiext.com to no avail. The webpage always defaults to "NEW EXTENDER SETUP".

3. I have cleared the browsers history cache

4. I have use a patch cable to directly connect EX6100 to laptop

 

Your help greatly appreciated.

 

THANK YOU
