AC750 WiFi range extender, model EX6100v2

I can't get the extender to recognize my router. The router link led shows no connection. Worked fine for 2 years, but stymied now. Tried reset factory settings and reconnecting, but no connection.

"...see if disabling SON helps by logging into router at myfiosgateway.com and go to Wireless Settings/Advanced Security Settings/ Other Advanced Wireless Options/Self-Organizing Network Enabled and set to Off"

Worked for me.

what router are you connecting to? 

Are you setting up via wps or using the installation wizard? 

Firmware on the extender?

I have the same issue. Worked great this past year+, the other day just stopped. Router link LED off. Have updated firmware, reset to factory, and tried to setup all 3 ways (WPS, "Genie" and Nighthawk app). Sees the router, sets up a 2EXT and 5EXT but no connectivity.

NO changes to Fios Quantum Gateway router; no issues with any of the other dozen wifi devices in the house. I am: totally stumped.

I have a Verizon Fios router. No problems with other devices (ipad, iphone). I tried both WPS and Netgear installation assistant, but no connection between extender and router.
