ex6170 extender
I have a ex6170 ac1200 extender and a Verizon Home Internet wifi router. I can't get the extender to connect to the router. I've followed all of the instructions and still not success. help
what verizon router? Some have "son". Self organizing network. Its their version of mesh and needs to be disabled if using a 3rd party device.
What method of setup did you use?
So that gateway does use "son" for its own mesh setup. If you're not using it, try disabling SON in its settings. Then rerun setup on with the extender.
I'd recommend using the installation assistant over WPS with that router.
