security when using ex6000 as an AP

Question

I'm trying to use an EX6000 as an access point with a BT home hub 4 as my main router. The only way I can get it to work is to turn off the security and have the new network I've created unprotected - if I add security it flips from access point mode to extender mode and loses the ethernet connection.

Is there a way around this?

thanks

Make sure you are using the latest firmware on the EX6000 also are you using WPA2 security.

Firmware is up to date and WPA2 security wasn't an option.Do I need to set it to a specific IP address outside the range of the router's IP addresses?

You shouldn't have to do that? and WPA2 is not a option on your main router?
