EX6200, unlike EX6100, doesn't support LAN uplink!

Just tested your theory out and I wasn't able to create a simple wireless ap using the ex6200 on stock firmware. The problem is that the ex6200 will redirect you as soon as you open a web browser to it's config page when it's disconnected from the main wireless signal that it's bridging, and dosen't let you do anything but reconnect or reconfigure. I've now tried twice to creat a simple wireless ap out of the ex6200 on stock firmware and I haven't succeded. I sent a request to Netgear support to implement an ap feature and they got back saying that they'd look into it.

My experience parallels Gingernut1978 -- I too purchased the EX6200. I was hoping the performance would be adequate in the far end of my house using it as a range extender; when it was not I figured it would be a simple matter to wire it to my router with a cat6 cable and use it as an Access Point but no go. At least with the stock firmware.

So I am currently using dd-wrt (just upgraded to the r25974 beta available on dd-wrt.com) but would happily revert to stock firmware once this feature is supported.

Its really crazy that its not supported. The EX6100 has the same interface (and presumably virtually the same firmware) and supports use as an Access Point.
