iOS device will not connect to EX6100 Firmware Version: V1.0.2.6_1.1.120 - won't accept password

I have been using this wifi extender with no issues until I updated the firmware to V1.0.2.6_1.1.120. Now I can connect back to my router, my iMAC connects to the Extender, but none of my iOS devices...

Hello Leeza

 

Have you reverted back to a older firmware and the issues do not happen?

Hi DarrenM, I too can reproduce this issue on iOS Devices. I can confirm that I updated to EX6100-V1.0.2.6_1.1.120 which breaks the ability to connect to iOS devices (I tested on iOS 9 & 10 on and iPhone and an iPad). After rolling back to V1.0.0.28_1.0.66 functionality was restored. 

 

If there is any other information I can provide to you or your engineers please let me know. 

 

Thanks,

Kristian

    Boom. Rolled back. All settings saved automatically without having to export. Updated back to V1.0.0.28_1.0.66 as suggested and seems to be holding firm.

     

    I hope the Netgear moderators and taking note on this. 

     

    Thanks everyone.
