Ex6200v2 amber

I have a ac1200 ex6200v2 that I’ve had for some time but recently it stopped working and only kept the top three symbols lit amber. I tried to reset it multiple times with no luck.

Re: Ex6200v2 amber

so the top 3 lights are:

2.4ghz link light

5ghz link light

device--router link light.

 

what firmware are you on? 

have you hardwired into it and reran setup on it to connect it to your router? 

what router are you connecting it to ?

Re: Ex6200v2 amber

I don’t remember the version I was on and I’m trying to connect to a Verizon router. It’s been working fine now it shows no ssids and no internet going to the Ethernet so I can’t even log into the thing

Re: Ex6200v2 amber

If its not linking back to the router, you won't get internet. But you can connect to it via ethernet (disable wifi on the device you're connecting with) and then you can log into the settings and check setup status or even rerun setup

Still nothing there seems to be no internet and trying to get into the settings is impossible because it only comes up as an error. I tried multiple browsers.

Re: Ex6200v2 amber

Which error is it coming up with? 

How are you attempting to access it? Details matter since we aren't there to see what you're doing.

Are you able to ping it while connected to it? 

Have you reset it back to factory (push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while plugged in)

Re: Ex6200v2 amber

There is no error nothing goes through the extender. It’s a brick. I’ve tried all the resets I’ve tried to ping it with no luck. The same lights stay amber and when I try to hardwire something the extender shows there is a Ethernet inside but no internet

Re: Ex6200v2 amber

you could try recoverying it with tftp. 

are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP

 

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
