EX6100v2 intenert access through WDNR3700
Hello, I'm having a great deal of difficulty in getting my brand new EX6150v2 to work properly with my Netgear WDNR3700 dual band router. My router works fine without having this extender connected....
Oops, I forgot to mention that I also factory reset the extender and hooked it up to another network I have access to which is using a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900. This was a flawless connection, had full internet and lan access, and was extremely stable. Hence I'm not sure why the WDNR3700 is having such difficulty with the range extender.
You stated that you reset the extender and hooked it to another network and it worked great. I'd look at the wdnr3700 as the issue.
did you try resetting the WDNR3700 back to factory and hooking up the extender? You can add devices/switch services once the extender is setup so you can figure out if its a setting on the wdnr3700 that you've changed is causing the issue.
What firmware is on the wdnr3700? Which version is it?
I have tried the factory reset and reestablishment of connection. It still has the same problem. I'm fully up to date on firmware using V1.0.16.98NA and it still will not correctly connect. I've restored by backup settings so my network is still up and running less the faulty range extender. Any other suggestions? Will I have to purchase a new router to handle the new range extender?
did you restore your settings prior to trying to re-setup the EX6100?
I would start with both factory fresh by resetting them both. with the WDNR3700 just setup your internet connection. Even leave the wifi name alone. Try setting up the EX6100 after this. With what you've described, I'd bet on it being a problem with the settings.
