EX8000 won’t connect
My EX8000 range extender stopped working the day after my hardware warranty ran out...wtf! It will no longer connect or reset, so I have no way to try to fix it. Any suggestions?

Another thing you can try is its default ip address if not connected back to the router is 192.168.1.250
you can try hardwiring into the extender and access it using that ip address.
- RiverwhipOct 09, 2020TutorThanks for the suggestions! I’m going to work on it tonight. When I reset, all the lights blink as normal, like it’s trying to connect, then it just goes to one solid light for the 2.5Ghz

So, as soon as I cabled directly to the computer a "new setup" screen came up and walked me through. Now it's working fine. Thanks again for your help!
