Hi Bendeego, 

 

Using a device connected to your extender's network, can you log into the extender's admin page and confirm whether your smart tv is on the connected devices list.

Hello ,sorry for the delay in answering,,

no the tv does not show in the connected devices in the ex7000,,

the tv works fine with the 6200 ,and it shows in the connected devices,,

,I thought the ex7000 was auto sensing,,,The Lg tv only handles 10/100 ,,

Hi,I believe I have solved my problem of not being able to connect my ex7000 to my LG tv,,via Ethernet ,,I changed my connection to Static ip,,and also smart connect and low and behold it now works ,,,doesn’t explain why my ex6200 works with DCHP ip addresses and the 7000 doesn’t ,,,,hope this helps someone,,,oh and I changed security settings also,,,

 

cheers
