EX7000 no internet connection
Ok - I'm stumped on this one and I'm not paying $50 for a support call if I cana get a new one for $100. Recently, my EX7000 (in Access Point mode) has been reporting that it has no internet connect...
I'm having the same issue. Setup the EX7000 as an access point, everything looked to be working properly but no internet connection. Did a factory reset and set it up as an extender through the Web GUI and still same issue. The only way I could get it working is with the WPS setup :|
Not very happy, i expected more from a $200 (CDN) device.
If you just bought it - send it back !!! I never had a problem with mine until very recently. There's still this lingering thought in the back of my mind that I hit one of those bogus netgear sites... but the more people I hear from the less I think it's likely. The only thing that I've read so far that makes any kind of sense is that there's code in the routers to prevent double NAT'ing in Bridge mode - but it makes no sense in an AP or Range extender. What I continue my scratch my head over is access point with a phone home requirement. I checked my router logs, and the traffic isn't blocked. The reason that I'm looking to replace it is that I'm starting not to trust it. I pay a decent amount of money for my commercial grade networking equipment at home - just for this reason. I have restrictions on my router that limit me to single wireless access point on my wireless port - I use an existing weaker acecss point on my low side for that (I'd rather have the stricter controls on that subnet). If I dont get an answer, Netgear is out of my picture for good.
