EX6120 Username and Password do not match after setup
I was having an issue trying to re-login to the EX6120 after a successful setup - the device was setup as an Extender that I planned to used as a wired media bridge.
I connected with the IP address of the device but the login would not accept my email and password combination - confirmed by the helpful password recovery (using the 2 questions). No luck.
Reset and tried again - same result...
The problem/solution? The username - (email required) is case sensitive!
Otherwise it seems to work fine - this is replacing an old Cisco WES620. I tried a TP Link AC750 and then a BrosTrend AX1500 that did not want to connect as a bridge just as a router with no way to access the default IP address. Not sure why I had a hard time finding this less expensive and much better unit which works well with the rest of my Netgear equipment.
