Netgear EX700: can’t see NETGEAR_EXT

Question

I am trying to set up the EX7700 as an access point.

I have already set it up successfully as a range extender connected to the router via Wifi, and I am now trying to connect it using Ethernet cable.

I am following these instructions:

I cannot see NETGEAR_EXT in the list of available networks.

I have registered the device and have a case number with Netgear support, but I get kicked off when I try to contact them via phone or chat.

Thank you.

If you log into the router and find the extenders IP address, you can log into and see what you have the ssid set as.&nbsp;

Thanks, but I can't see the extender in the list of devices.

FYI I was able to connect to the NETGEAR_EXT after resetting the extender via the reset button (paperclip).

Eventually got to talk the tech support after getting booted off three times and being on hold for a couple of hours.

Extender works great as an access point, covering this huge backyard and servicing the granny flat.
