Re: Netgear range exstender ex6150v2

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.

Re: Netgear range exstender ex6150v2

I was connecting to our local water treatment plants open wifi we live a few miles out of town so I don't have physical access to the router... so when Netgear set it up remotely view my computer about a year ago they somehow hooked up to the router and they were unable to connect to the Wi-Fi so since then family has been on my pc and wifi and now the router light forest come on ...all lightswork when u plug it in.......netgear only told me that it was cause of all the traffic is why it won't connect it would have to be cleaned out.

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. 

https://www.netgear.com/support/product/EX6150v2.aspx

does the "open wifi" have a login/terms and conditions you have to agree to?

No it does not have any terms or condition and I can't update the firmware

Why can't you update the firmware? 

Did you follow the manual firmware update process from the manual? 

Where did it go wrong?
