Extender not working?EX6100 WiFi Range Extender
I did the wps setup through my router as i got nowhere trying to do it thru the wps button. Seems with my router that button also resets and takes away the password i set and thats no good. Anyway se...
Hey, I got it working with the 3rd solution you provided, but I was trying the second solution, in order not to lose the router capabilities:
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
I've done this, but my steam link still doesn't find my desktop.
I've attached a sceenshop of the DMZ config.
What was the browser method sorry?
OK i tried it again tonight as i would have forgotten everything from the other day. I tried via the router again as the button on my router is a dual use button and i dont want to erase the password again by taking the router back to factory password. So i got the router to scan both with either a pin or with the wps button doing the add device thing. It seems to do it and says that it has connected(thats what the router says) but the netgear devices green light is still flashing. It doesn't stop like it did the other day...a few more minutes go by and the light on it is still flahing but the routers light for wps has gone out. I tried several times. Ok i tried via the browser and doesnt work either. It just gives me a page that says 'You are not connected to your extender's WiFi network.' and instructions on how to connect via windows, mac and android. None of those work. Well i am using linux and android. I do have a mac and windows machine but surely i dont have to drag those out when linux is far superior. I dont have the mac and windows machines permanently set up so prefer to only pull them out if i absolutely have to :) Is there anything else i should try or getting on the phone for support a better option?
Hi rapattack,
Connect either 1 of your device to NETGEAR_EXT and goto mywifiext.net which will help you to set it up. If it doesn't, try 192.168.1.250 which would be alternate one for mywifiext.net.
Gee that doesn't work either. I got 'problem loading page'...will have to try and ring netgear support again. I got cut off twice. Once while talking to the person and the other time it cut out during the recordings to make you choose options to who you speak to
