Nighthawk AC1900 Wifi Extender not connecting to WiFi
I just moved into a new location where my room is a bit away from the WiFi Router. I am using the Nighthawk AC1900 Wifi Extender that my friend no longer needed. It was working fine for the last few ...
Good luck! I hope it work.
You might check to see if that router supports self organizing network. (son) in its settings.
the older G3100 had to have that disabled or it'd only connect to its supported extenders for a mesh.
What firmware is on it?
Did you try factory resetting before you started using the installation assistant?
I just tried connecting and I run into the same issue. It says searching for WiFi networks and backs out of the page.
The firmware version is listed as follows:
- Hardware Version: EX7000
- Firmware Version: V1.0.0.30_1.0.72
A couple things.
1. What router are you connecting it to?
2. You're on really really old firmware. Its the initial release firmware. Try upgrading it to the 1.0.1.112 firmware and installing it.
