Impossible to configure EX6150 as access point

While setting up my EX6150 as an acces point, the initial configuration seems to be OK and I can connect to the internet (unsecure/NETGEAR_5GEXT). But whenever I try to configure it with following the link www.mywifiext.net and I start to input my E-mail and answer the security questions, the internet connection breaks down and I cannot complete the registration.

Other computers (connected to ethernet) still have stable internet access.

 

I already tried multiple different devices (laptops and mobiles) with the same result.

 

My configuration:

Router: AVM Fritz!Box 6490 Cable

Switch: Netgear ProSAFE GS108Ev3 --> Ethernet conncted computers, TV...

Access Point EX6150 should be used to provide WiFi on 2nd Floor

 

Thanks for helping...

Jörg

    I would try to factory reset the extender again and bring it into the same area as the router to do the setup then move it after the setup, Also make sure the router is using WPA2 security type.
