Are you on Extender Mode or AP mode?
If Extender Mode:
1. Connect to the EX6100 wired.
2. Access the GUI through mywifiext.net or 192.168.0.250.
3. Check wireless Setting or Retype passphase to be sure.
4. Make sure Ex6100 is still connected to the router's SSID.
If AP mode:
1. Check if you get valid IP.
2. If valid, access the GUI to check the wireless settings or modify it.
3. If invalid, reset the EX6100 and reconnect using the default SSID NETGEAR_EXT which is an unsecured network. Then access the GUI through mywifiext.net or 192.168.0.250.
Let me know if this works.
