EX6200 will not set up as access point
My EX6200 worked as an access point for years. I had to change its location and change the SSID. We I change the locatio, I also did a factory reset. Since them, I cannot access the web GUI to set it ...
- I updated the firmware and I successfully set it up as an access point!
I feel like an idiot because I knew it had to be something simple that I was missing.
I appreciate your assistance.
Firmware Version V1.0.0.46_1.1.70
I’m using My Fios Gateway router supplier by Verizon ( the EX6200 was working as an AP with this setup until I factory reset the EX6200)
I’m trying to install via browser per the instructions provided by Netgear.
You can only setup the EX6200 as an extender wirelessly. Netgear instructions state you must hardwire a computer to the EX6200 and hardwire the EX6200 to the router to set it up as an Access Point.
I’ve tried setup with a PC and MAC using IE, Safari and Chrome Browsers with no luck.
And the Netgear knowledge articles are no help.
Thanks for your assistance.

But the instructions I found were from the manual specific to your support site. Try updating the firmware and maybe that'll work. If it doesn't, try the route I outlined.
