A bit more details would help.
Where are you having issues?
Are you trying to setup using wps or using the installation assistant?
What error is it giving it?
you put Linksys EX2800. netgear makes a ex2800 but not linksys. What extender do you have?
firmware on the router?
Firmware on the extender?
we're not there to see whats going on so you need to be detailed in what process you're using and where its failing for us to better help you.
- Linksys extender set program sees 2.8G signal but does not see a 5G signal. Notes indicate that router may not be setup for DFS. Netgear documentation lists DFS channels but they do not show up in my drop down list. I am missing something.My bad. It is a Linksys RE6700 Extender. (Old age is hell).Router Firmware is V1.0.1.62_1.0.41Extender Firmware unknown at moment. Never update that I know of.
The RE6700 should support the higher 5ghz bands.
have you tried the R6400 on the higher 5ghz channels?
