Netgear EX7000-100PES Nighthawk .....not able to setup!
Hello there, i got my EX7000 these days an tried today to set it up as AP.....but two steps further i get first problems :( My WLAN Device (HTC M7) can connect to it and i filled out the forms but a...
Hello! We're Do you See this data? I can't go into any options because the device stops at the point we're its testing the connection to the Router/internet . Its the step after you be asked if you want to use Extender or Access Point mode.....
Forget what i said above....i didnt see the button down below because of the cellphone display ^^
Ok, now i managed to get into the EX7000 Settings menu....on the status u posted the upper two are both diconnected and the SSID is empty.
So there is still no connection to my router/DHCP.....the joke now is if i go to Settings>Wireless>IP Adresse it shows me that DHCP is enabled,
and there is a IP "192.168.1.250"....if i type these i can access the device from my PC but NO connection with router?!?
I dont know were it got this IP because the range of my router is from 192.168.1.10 up to 192.168.1.50 .......
I did now a firmware upgrade to the latest version i case its a bug that plages me here....but nothing changed.
The Port LED the EX7000 is connected to only shows me Orange status....
So....why the heck this thing didnt connect correctly to my router?
regards
Are you trying to set up the EX7000 as a range extender or as an Access Point (AP)? You mentioned AP but I'm not sure if you were using the term casually. On the EX7000, AP mode really means wired AP mode. This means the EX7000 must be connected to the router via Ethernet cable. Make sure the Ethernet LED on the EX7000 lights up. The EX7000 should automatically obtain an IP address from the router. Then all you have to do is set up its Wi-Fi network.
If you are not connecting the EX7000 to the router via Ethernet, then you must set it up as a range extender. The setup will then proceed join the extender to the router's Wi-Fi network as well as set up the extender's own Wi-Fi network.
