EX6120 Device Light not lit up.

[Gloop]

Hey,

My AC1200 Dual Band WiFi Range Extender (Model EX6120)'s device light does not appear to be on at all. It's been doing this for a few weeks now, and I've never had this problem.

I've unplugged the extender, changed the router cable, changed the extender location to a different plug in my room and of course, finally I've factory resetted the thing. - To which, none have come to fruition or have solved the problem. Not sure what's causing this, but if anyone of you have a clue and have a solution: Please comment!

Thank you.

The device light led comes on when you have something connecting to the extender. 

did you connect a phone/tablet/computer to it ?

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge. This place is for General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk and Non-Orbi). The EX6120 is a wifi extender

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

WiFi Range Extenders & Nighthawk Mesh - NETGEAR Communities

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

I've connected my computer to it; always been like that. Dunno why it's acting up.

connected to wifi? 

Hardwired in? 

Does it show connected if you log into the status page on the router?
