Help! Smart devices no longer get internet via Wifi Extender!
Dear Netgear Community!

Is the router link LED lit? If so, what color? See page 6 here if you need an explanation on the LEDs: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/EX6150v2/EX6150v2_UM_EN.pdf
Also, did anything recently happen on your network around the time it began to fail? For instance, did you change routers? Did you have a power failure? ...
Hiya! Many thanks for your reply. The LED light is yellow.
Nothing that I know of happened, but I did switch off all the internet/and all sockets when I went on holiday for two weeks at the start of July - perhaps it could be connected to that in some way?
Thanks!

Do you recall if it was yellow before? If practical, you could try moving it a little closer to the router (enough to get a green color), and see if that changes anything.
I suppose its actually green (same colour as the other LED lights on the extender). It has always been this same colour.
Before I went away and switched everything off it worked very well without interruption. But now sometimes it allows you to go online for some time and then after a couple of minutes you get the "not connected to the internet" signs in the browsers.
