Re: 6150v2

Did you set it up using the push button WPS option? 

If so, factory reset the extender  and set it up using the installation assistant.

To factory reset, push and hold the reset button for 7-15 seconds while powered on. 

Here's a video of how to use the assistant.

Re: 6150v2

If the power light is solid orange/amber, its likely something is corrupt or failed in the boot process. 

You can try recovering it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide
https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
just make sure you enable tftp
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash

Re: 6150v2

Just noticed that's instructions for a router, not an extender

Re: 6150v2

They are for a router but it works on extenders as well. If you watched the video, the user does it on an extender.

Re: 6150v2

sorry but I don't get this, just cant get my head around the TFTP, just don't seem to be able to get the one in the video, but everything else is straight forward
