Re: New router won't sync with AC1200 range extender.

New router won't sync with AC1200 range extender.

The new router had no trouble connecting to my iPhone, Samsung tablet, printers, Blu-ray plyaers or anything else I have wireless. 

When I try to setup the EX6200 extender it's a no go. I have done a reset, tried it WPS and through the website with no luck. Took it to a friends house who has a Netgear Nighthawk R4000P and it synced right with no problem??? I appears the new router doesn't like the old extender for some reason. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Got the Extender working.

Ended up doing a complete reset of the router, setting it back up and doing the same to the extender. They connected on the first try.

 It took more than I thought it would, but like they say the end justifies the means.

1. what router are you connect?

2. what firmware is on the router?

glad to hear you got it working!

Sad it took so much to get going. 

I'd mark your issue as solved so others aren't trying to fix it still 🙂
