Netgear range exstender ex6150v2
Won't connect to wifi
- Oct 08, 2020
going to need a little more info.
1. What router are you connecting it to?
2. firmware on the extender?
3. how are you setting it up? using wps or the installation wizard?
4. Where is it failing in the process. There's many steps and we're not there to see what you're doing, where its failing, the errors, etc. we need more info than "it won't connect". help us to help you.

You are able to update without wifi. You download the file from the support site, extract it, and then follow the manual firmware update process.

does the "open wifi" have a login/terms and conditions you have to agree to?
- shannonehlers18Oct 14, 2020AspirantNo it does not have any terms or condition and I can't update the firmware

Did you follow the manual firmware update process from the manual?
Where did it go wrong?
