Help! Nighthawk X6S AC3000 will not connect to wifi
I have had this problem 2x now. We returned the last extender and got a new one but it is STILL having the issue. I've been on the phone with Netgear and Spectrum multiple times and NO ONE understands...

Have you tried hardwiring the extender into the modem/router and running it in access point mode to see if it works?
What gateway are you using from spectrum?
Have you tried connecting the EX8000 to a different router and seeing if it works? Maybe it isn't an extender issue.
did you set it up via wps or using the installation wizard?

I do think it is something to do with the router. When I searched the specific router (its one of the Wave 2 models), I found 1 forum discussion talking about an issue with the router. Someone said that you can use mac filtering to fix it, but I went through the steps to do that, and still doesnt work. But that definitely feels like the problem.
