EAX80 Not broadcasting Wifi
I reset my EAX80 today as I could not connect to the gateway portal.
Upon configuration the ssid name and password wifi extender was not broadcasting wifi name.
So I could not connect to the extender, anyone know how to fix this ?

Re: EAX80 Not broadcasting Wifi
Try resetting 1 more time. Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on.
Then try to install using the installation assistant and not wps. Don't hit the wps button at all.
here's a video of the assistant.

Re: EAX80 Not broadcasting Wifi
There's no WPS button, but to note there's no wifi name broadcasted either incase I wasn't being clear. So NETGEAR_EXT is not being broadcasted, there's no wifi signal being emitted to connect to / set up. Only the power button and the 2.4 ghz light is showing up shown in the image attached in the original post.

Are you able to hardwire a pc/laptop it and access it that route?

Re: EAX80 Not broadcasting Wifi
After connecting it to a modem/router directly and setting it up SSIDs for both 2.4 and 5ghz are still not being broadcasted at all. But At least through the modem/router I am able to access the gateway through direct IP. Any help would would be nice.
Update :
Portal Screenshot not sure if AX6000 WiFi Access Point

Re: EAX80 Not broadcasting Wifi
You do have it setup in access point mode. Are you meaning to have it in access point mode or in extender mode?
I'm also not sure why its showing channel 0 for your wireless channels.
Have you tried reinstalling the firmware to it?
Or downgrading a version? Maybe something is corrupt in the firmware.

Re: EAX80 Not broadcasting Wifi
I ended up toggling ssid broadcast and that fixed it for me
