Power light LED stays amber all the time

Question

My bad. without the ethernet jack, there's not way to recover it if it is corrupted.&nbsp;You can check to see if the warranty is still valid. click on mynetgear at the top. register an account and then the device. From there you can check warranty status.&nbsp;

Hi Plemans, thank you, please accept my apologies for sounding so pissy last night, I'd had a long, hot, frustrating day trying to get stuff done with no connection and most definitely wasn't feeling the love.I had a couple of cold beers and a decent sleep and bought another extender this morning, so the sun is shining, the birds are singing and all is right-ish with the worldAppreciate you efforts to helpSteve

sounds like something got corrupted. you can try recoving via tftp.

are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash

I'm sure I have the wrong end of the stick but the original question is specifically about the EX6110 which doesn't have an ethernet socket so with the best will in the world I'm never going to be able to connect it to a wired computer. I also note that the EX6110 is not listed in the applicable models in the right hand column

I have had the extender less than 3 weeks and, up until last night, it has been perfect; now I appear to have a very expensive nightlight and instead of working from home I spent most of today definitely not working from home but trying to reconnect to the internet.
