Hello,
I tried the suggestion ( thanks for it ) and it did not work at all.
I reset the extender to factory
I switch the button to access point
I connected the router to the nighthawk mobile modem 4G LTE M2( MR2100) and tried to do the setup
I finally accessed the extender and did the setup but :
-> no way to have a working connexion between the extender and the modem ( and the RJ45 cable works perfectly, the lights were on on the connectors on both sides)
When I am connected to the modem M2 , I do not reach the extender
When I am connecrted to the extender , it does not reach the modem
I did another test with another extender (from another brand) and it worked like a charm with the M2.
So this is very bothering.
I have a 4G Modem MR2110 from netgear and and extender from the same brand and they just do not work together when they work with other devices from other brands . This is frustrating as I bought the extender specifically to work with the MR211.
Any suggestion is welcome
Regards
SErge

When the extender is in ap mode, is it broadcasting a wifi ssid you can connect to? You still need to set it up.
Maybe click it over to ap mode, push factory reset while powered on for 15 seconds, then go through setup on it. During setup, at some point it'll ask you to connect to the m2, at that point, connect it.
