Netgear Nighthawk X6 Tri-Band WiFi Mesh Extender AC2200 - Lights flashing (HELP)
Hello, I have this NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 Tri-Band WiFi Mesh Extender AC2200 that has flashing lights but no functionality after power was lost to it during a software upgrade. I assume there is no...
Are you able to access it at all if you try 192.168.1.250 with the pc connected?
If I let my PC configure the ip/subnet mask/default gateway settings, I cannot access the extender through 192.168.1.250. It says the destination is unreachable. The computer assigns the extender a 169.254.x.x address but I don't know what it means.
I also assigned it a static ip address of 192.168.1.250, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.1.1. When I reboot the extender, I get a reply using cmd's ping when pinging 192.168.1.1, but pinging it after booting it up for a few seconds gets me no reply. I still can't access 192.168.1.250 via browser when I did this.
If you direct connect it to the router, does it assign the extender an IP address?
Yes. Connecting it my router (R7000) assigns it an ip address of 192.168.1.250.
If its assigning an ip address, it should be working.
Are you able to access it while you're pc is connected to the router and the extender connected to the router?
Hi,
No, i'm unable to connect to the extender whilst my pc and extender are connected to it. The extender was operating normally for a few seconds before going back into it's previous state today for some reason.
