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

Hello alinge ,
Ok, so is this happening during the setup or is it after completing the setup that you can't connect?
Good day to you,

As I understand it the setup works fine!
- Power LED green
- WPS LED green
From a mobile phone, I can connect after a login to the extender.
- Client Link LED goes green
The Router Link LED does no go green. "The extender cannot connect to the router".
(A week ago I managed to set up an old "NETGEAR Universal WiFi Range Extender WN2000RPT" as extender but that one creates an SSID with another name, so that's why I am now trying with the EX7320.)
Best regards,
Arne

Hello alinge ,
Could you check the security on your router?
Also have a look at your firewall and antivirus, please.

Hi again!
Now I am in touch with swedish NETGEAR support, just had a our and half over the phone session with them.
I seem to do everything right!
It could be a hardware pproblem with the extender, they will continue to check further if there is anything more to do before replacing unit.
Notes:
- Extender does no connect with WPS (although a very old NETGEAR extender does that perfectly).
- Extender has an old firmware verrsion 1.0.0.84, is there a way to update??
- After correct setup extender does not connect to router.
I will continue with the swedish support, thanks for all your assistance so far!
Best rgerads,
Arne
