Wps light won't turn on

Just bought a EX6130. Manual says the WPS/Mode should be green. It isn't. Manual says to press the button 5 seconds. It blinks but then the light stays off. I reset the device, tried numerous times. More than 5 seconds, less than 5, you name it. The power light becomes orange, then green again, and this is it...

    Have you tried to setup the extender the manual way?

      Many thanks. I ended up being able to get someone on phone support. It involved manual set up indeed but with tricks compared to the manual.

  • I would but there were too many steps I had to make while on the call so I'm afraid I would need to call again if I needed to start over. Sorry. But their phone support is definitely competent and helpful

      Thanks for replying so promptly. The thing appears to be working properly now, and so I am rather loathe to touch it.
