EX7320 Nighthawk AC200

NETGEAR Nighthawk X4 AC2200 WiFi Mesh Extender

Problems setting upp, connecting to a Orbi RBR50 + Satellite

During setup, Extender finds 2.4 & 5 Ghz WiFi from Orbi and manages to set up SSID_2.4GHZ & SSID_5Ghz networks.

Trying to connect (logging in from mobile), error message is extender can't connect to router.

What's wrong?

    Hello alinge ,

     

    Welcome to the NETGEAR community! :)

    Did you try to connect from a computer linked via cable to the extender?

     

    Good day to you,

        Hello Valérie,

         

        Sorry about my previous short answer!

         

        I can connect to teh EX7320 from my computer with a direct cable. (As I can with WiFi from a mobile phone to the EX7320 SSIDs set up according to instructions).

        But then my computer browser tries to connect to http://192.168.1.250/login.html without success. Error message: "The extendert can't connect to the router".

         

        Is it something I am missing completely?

         

        Regards,

        Arne
