WiFi Extender reinstall
TRYING TO RECONFIGURE AN OLDER NETGEAR EXTENDER TO A NEW WIFI ROUTER. MODEL EX6100. CANNOT US WPS SETUP BECAUSE THE ROUTER DOES NOT HAVE THE WPS BUTTON ON IT. TRIED TO SETUP USING THE BROWSER METHOD ...
In both attempts to reinstall this extender to a new router, the extender does not reveal its NETGEAR_EXT network link to continue the installation. It does not appear on the network list under either the "Access" or "Extender" switch positions.

1. Try to factory reset it. push and hold reset ofr 7-10 seconds while fully powered up. The lights should change. Retry to do your setup.
2. Did you try to connect to it via an ethernet connection to go through setup?
Did not try ethernet connection for the set-up. Will try factory reset and the ethernet connection for setup.
