RAX200 - WPS light continues blinking. Already tried rebooting.
I recently installed Netgear CM1150V Modem, RAX200 Router and EX7700 Extender. Everything is set up and working. When connecting my Extender, I used the WPS feature. Now the WPS light on the Route...
Please release a new firmware right away! When you push the WPS, the light constantly blinks and doesn't turn off. Does the leave my network open to attack or unauthorized devices to connect? Please fix this right away. Is Netgear even working on this issue? What is a ETA for new firware to get the fix? Just purchased, but may return this unit and go back to Belkin! For the top of the line unit and the very expensive cost of this unit, this model should be trouble free! I have tried most all the attemps by others, but still in the same position of the blinking light. It is incomprehensible how this issue was not found in the development and testing process.
Netgear, your reputation is on the line here!

Yep, the blinking light continues! I've been told several times by tech support that “ it’s normal and not to worry “ somehow it’s not comforting. I have owned only Netgear products for many years, this unit has been a huge disappointment! Tech support is useless! Jim
Thanks for your reply.
I did come accross a setting that gives this option:
"Block all new devices from connecting"
Hopefully this will help with the security issues of unauthorized users.
This setting is located under the advanced tab/security/access control

i find a fix for this
i got rid of this and got the AmpliFi ALIEN Router so much better and way faster then the rax200
I'm also getting the same problem; router is currently on firmware version V1.0.2.88_1.0.50. Looks like there's a new beta version for download - V1.0.2.92_1.0.50_beta - on the Netgear support site. The release notes for it sucks - just says "security fix" and no other details. Hesitant to push this to my router since it's beta and I have no idea what's in it. I'm actually disappointed in the new products from NetGear. I also purchased the EAX80 and having disconnect issues with EAX80 extender. But I digress. These issues are serious which cause core functionalities and security risks. Support is par at best. These problems shouldn't even be happening if these products/firmwares are thoroughly tested before release (serious QA control). And when these problems are reported, they should be fixed immediately, not wait for months on end without any updates. I used to be a fan of Netgear and a huge advocate for their products. I've already invested in these products and can't return them because my return window has passed. Now all I can do is just wait and wait and wait for firmware updates in the hopes that these updates will fix these core issues. If not, I might just consider dumping them for a loss and getting a new router/extender or mesh system from another vendor.
