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...
Figured it out,
Hardware Version EX6200
Firmware Version V1.0.1.60_1.1.98
First you must setup the unit to extend your existing wifi, once this setup is complete login to the EX6200 via it's web interface.
change it's network settings from DHCP to static IP, assign it a static IP on your network (I used 192.168.1.251) apply the settings, reboot the EX6200.
Log in and change the "connect to existing network" menu to be "Access Point(Wired)" mode.
apply the settings.
Once it reboots you can then log into the unit with the new static IP address Ex:192.168.1.251
repeat for any additional access points 192.168.1.252 .253 etc.
Epic Fail netgear for goofy firmware.
