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...
Hi, sorry if my english is confusing ...but YES im want to Set it up as AP, YES it is wired connected and the used Port on the netgear is ligthed up green but NO the device denies permanently to obtain an IP from my Router! This is the Main Problem. DHCP on netgear is on , also on Router. Again,there are no restrictions on Router for connecting devices....All my other Hardware has no Problems....only this freaking netgear :(

Your English is fine.
Can you try a different Ethernet cable to use between the router and EX7000?
Is the Ethernet cable plugged into a LAN port on the Draytek Vigor?
Is the link light for the Ethernet port on your Draytek Vigor router green?
Is the Ethernet port on your Draytek enabled?
Is the link speed set on the Draytek set to either Auto or 1 Gbps FDX?
Are you using VLANs on your Draytek?
Is the IP Pool counts on your Draytek large enough to assign IP addresses to the EX7000 and its clients?
Do you have any restrictions enabled in the Firewall of your Draytek? The firewall looks pretty powerful, so make sure the LAN port used by the EX7000 is allowed and that there are no Access Control Lists configured that would block packets coming from the EX7000.
Thanks ;)
Well,yes i tried another cable (one of my first steps)
Original the Netgear was sitting behind an 8 Port Gbit Switch but when first problems appeard i plugged it directly in router
No,as said above the light on Netgear is green,on router its orange which means an low bandwith connection....
Yes,all ports are enabled and speed on all are set to Auto
No Vlan´s
The IP Pool is actually limited from 1.10 up to 1.50 ,so 40 clients possible....but i have only 18 in use so there is enough space
The firewall didnt block any ports nore have i set up any traffic control or special access controls
I tried yesterday to set u another AP bougth from a friend.....no problems setting it up! DHCP worked fine and its was availible within seconds........

According to the Vigor2130 User Guide that I found, an orange light on the router means a 100 Mbps connection. It should be connecting at 1 Gbps. If you are sure that the router port is configured to run at 1 Gbps, then either the cable is bad or the port on the EX7000 is defective.
Maybe it's time to return or exchange it.
