My EX6100 extender switches to amber and stays amber after a couple of minutes
Afternoon all, I bought an EX6100 extender in August this year and have used it since with my wireless network without any problems. All of a sudden since Saturday, this week it has been malfunctioni...
Type of router = ECI B-FOCUS 0-4G2PW
I have no ability to change the router as it is provided by the ISP. The EX6100 is running the latest firmware.
I have reset the extender thrice and placed it in the same room. Problem is the same - Runs well for some minutes and then turns amber.
Is there a way to view a log of the extender?
Can you please confirm that the reset was a full factory reset (not power on, power off)?
Are you setting up the EX6100 as an access point or extender mode?
Full factory Reset Confirmed. I had to redo my network settings. I am setting the EX6100 up as an extender.
Thanks for the clarification.
Can you please also describe your network topology? Is it only the router and extender in the network?
What laptop/mobile devices are you connecting to the network?My home is set up with the router and the extender only in the network. I have a Lenovo Y410P which connects to whatever network is active. My family has a couple of devices - IPads, SmartPhones (2 BB Z10s, HTC One and IPhone5), MacBook Air, XBox and 2 Chromecasts. We tested it with just 2 or 3 devices and the problem still occured.
