Nighthawk X6S all 8 white LED lights flashing
Hi,
I recently had a power outage and woke up this mornign to my extender flashing white lights. It seems like it will not fully reboot and all 8 LED lights flash ever few seconds. I cant find ...
Update - it appeared to be fixed but once the unit is shutoff it does not maintain the settings when it comes back up. I was able to go through the setup process again and got it to work, but it appears it will not maintain the settings once the unit is turned off (which was my test to see if it would come back after a power failure). I guess its time for a new extender, this one was just less than 1 year old - maybe time for a different brand of router & extender! Too bad, it was great while it worked.
Thank you for your input. Tried resetting before the power LED turned red but no such luck. Tried contacting Netgear support but though the EX8000 is still within warranty and they say it should be replaced, they are avoiding replacing it with some excuse or the other.
I have also also come to the same conclusion. Buy a router from some other manufacturer and avoid Netgear in future. Thanks for your input.
