Setting up EX 6200 As Access Point but cannot connect to internet

I have followed the usual steps (reset router) and when I log on to the router to set it up via the Genie, it hangs on the internet connection and I get stuck there and cannot connect to the internet through the new AP setup. I have gone through the suggested connection tips but nothing has worked yet. Any tips would be appreciated.

Hello chucktaylor 

 

Are you trying to use the ex6200 in AP mode by connecting it to the router via ethernet or are you just trying to connect it via wireless?

Trying it via Ethernet. Followed all of the hints in the forum and figured it wasn't worth my time to keep it up. Bought a Netgear dual band wifi router and went back to using this as an extender for the new router.
