Netgear EX7500 and Bell 3000 Hub
Hi everybody. I have a Bell 3000 hub and I just buy a Netgear EX7500 extended wifi. First, it's impossible to see the Netgear_ex on my cellular to connect my Netgear but I use the WPS button. After connection with the Bell 3000 Hub & the Netgear, I see all lights on 2,4 & 5 GHZ. When I move the Netgear at the middle of my house to extend the Wifi, all lights continue to be on but the Netgear cut all acces to the wifi on my 10 devices in my home ? At my other house, I have a Bell 2000 hub and it's working ? Bell said that they doesn't support other equipments. Could you help me ?

A couple things.
1. The EX7500 is a mesh extender. if setup using wps, it'll use the same ssid as your primary router. so you won't see the __ext network
2. What firmware is on your EX7500
3. Try factory resetting it and setting it up using the installation assistant and NOT wps. Isp supplied routers tend to have poorly coded wps function
