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...
You raise an interesting concern... but this isn't a production environment - hence no free support after 30 days. Who knows what really happens when you redirect to mywifiext? I usually attribute things like this to Ockham's Razor - the simplest explaination is usually the correct one. The only way to really know is to backed up an old copy of the firmware on your computer and tested with that. Most people set these up and never check them again unless there's a problem they can't fix by just rebooting.

i only noticed because i had to repatch my switch and like a true IT professional decided that labelling ports was something other people did. so i did waste rather a large amount of time thinking i had stuffed something up only to realise everything still worked.
This Crowley was stolen from my favorite book, it was either that or "whythehellareallthegoodusernamesalreadytaken"

So we're the unfortunate few that stumbled on it trying to solve a different problem? I wasted time chasing it down too... and it just cost me at $18... I had to ship back the router that I was going to replace the access point with. I hope that Fry's don't hold me to their stated policy of deducting the shipping cost from my refund as well ($40 down the drain). I came close to keeping it but I just spent $450 replacing my primary router and if I buy another access point now, it'll be commercial quality w/support so I don't have to worry about this chicken**bleep** stuff.
It's a good persona đ Mine is from one of my favorite of the 1960's "computers are taking over the world" genre movies. I think my next one will be Arthur_Dent. Geeks get the reference immediately, everyone else probably thinks I'm an MD.

Collosus/skynet same thing really
i moved to house from an apartment and i was lucky to be able to run Cat5 to every room as i have great underfloor access so the EX7000 was simply to extend the Wifi to cover all areas and is really only used by a few Mobile devices. If Wifi had been a more serious requirement i may have gone down the ubiquity or even Cisco path, at least with Cisco i am surrounded by experts at work.
