Dead in the water-EX6120

EX6120. I have an Arris router from Time Warner (now Spectrum).  MAC OSX 10.10.5 My Wifi Range extender was working just fine until I wanted to add a device to my TV for streaming (Amazon firestick). When I plugged in the firestick, it wanted me to connect to the internet, and I tried to put in the password for my extended network, but it kept telling me that it was incorrect. So, I went onto www.mywifiext.net and it asked me to set it up again--I went through the steps, put in the password, said that the extended passwords would be the same, and it appeared to complete. However, I now cannot use the extended networks on ANY devices--not my computer, iPad, TV (which no longer even recognizes my router, which I did NOTHING to), or anything else. I am told that the password is incorrect for either of the extended networks (but it's not).  Nor can I start over and set it up again because I cannot get onto www.mywifiext.net from Chrome or Safari. I can't see the NETGEAR internal network--not even if connected via ethernet.

Re: Dead in the water-EX6120

I ended up getting help from Netgear--a support guy in India who recreated the network.  It cost quite a bit--but it's done. Had I read about the ability to reset before I contacted them, it would have been awesome, but I didn't and it's done 🙂

Hello Collegementors

 

Have you tried to factory reset the extender by holding the reset button for 10 seconds it should then let you do the set up again on the extender.
