EX6150/AC1200 WiFi range extender NO INTERNET
No internet connection. I used the extender for months with no issue and now there is no internet connection. I have factory reset multiple times and changed SSID. Please help :)
I figured out how to upgrade the firmware and performed a factory reset. I ran through the setup and exactly the same thing happens. Connects to extender but NO INTERNET connection. I attached a shot to show the firmware update has been completed.
Hi Christian,
Not sure about the firewall but I have no issues, at all, with my laptop on Windows XP and my Samsung Note 8 connecting through the wireless router.
I attached a screenshot of the available networks. The one to which I am connected works perfectly and the two newly created extender networks will not connect to the internet.
Cheers,
Roscoe

"FW" meant "firmware".
When you connect to the extender networks, can you reach www.mywifiext.net? That isn't on the internet, it is the extender's management web interface.
If you can, please post the screen that shows the extender status and the firmware version.
- Attached photo. Cheers
Hi maxpowerwarden,
Thank you for the screenshot. Please refer to the following link to ensure your extender is on the latest firmware. After doing so, perform a factory reset and proceed with the steup. Please let us know if your issue persists.

Are you kidding me!
The video to download the new firmware requires I connect to the internet through the extender... which is exactly what I have been trying to do, unsuccessfully, for weeks! I cannot connect to internet so I cnnot obviously download the new firmware which is what you are asking me to do...
