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

I unfortunately did not find this response quick enough yesterday and spent almost 2.5 hours online and on hold with Netgears customer support folks. I had to ask and explain multiple times the option of "Access Point (Wired)" on the setup screen and why it was there. Each of the customer support folks told me over and over and over that a wired access point is not available and they had no idea why the option is there. Finally (after sitting on hold countless times) Mehraj (ID#1085) was able to dig very deep into another similar router's options and walk me through the same process you describe below and now I have a wired Access Point at full wired speed.

I wanted to verify that it was in fact wired so I turned off the wireless access at the Uverse modem and all is good. I was about to flash with DD-WRT as a last resort but don't have to now.

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.
