EX6200, unlike EX6100, doesn't support LAN uplink!
I've just received delivery of an EX6200, expecting to connect it my existing router via wired Ethernet (LAN) connection i.e. as an access point. Apparently the EX6200 does not support this scenario...
@dBFromOz
Disregard my first response. Someone mess up with my router settings. So here's what I do to get the unit working as an AP mode or wired to the router.
1. Access the EX6200 GUI and set static IP address to the same subnet as my R7000 router.
IP: 10.0.0.200
SM : 255.255.255.0
DG : 10.0.0.1 ( R7000 IP)
DNS : 10.0.0.1 ( R7000 IP)
2. Disable the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz network SSID on the router. ( this is not necessary I just turn it off to make sure that the extender isn't connected wirelessly to the router). I even create a new SSID and change passphrase on the router just to make sure that it was not saved before on the extenders settings. I also check the Extender status is "Disconnected".
3. Connect a computer and receive valid IP address from the router and can go online wired and wireless using the EX6200.
Hope this helps you.
