I have a RAX80 router that is literally 4 feet away from my EX7500 extender. Why is the link light Amber and not Blue?? How clsoe must the ex7500 be to my router to be best connected?
Model: EX7500|AC2200 Nighthawk X4S Tri Band WiFi Mesh Extender
Which link light? the router link light? the 2.4ghz link light? The 5ghz link light? 5 ghz link light is amber----thats the connection from the extender to devices. its going to change as device roam around. plus since its only 1 light, it doesn't signify all the devices. To see all of their connections, you'd need to log into the extender to check their actual signal connection to the extender.
Need some specifics.
Firmware on the router?Nighthawk RAX80Firmware Version V1.0.1.70_1.0.30
Firmware on the extender?
Hardware Version: EX7500
Firmware Version: V1.0.0.52_1.0.68
Did you set it up via wps or the installation wizard? installation wizard
Have you tried moving it further away? I dd move it. sometimes amber and sometimes solid blue. inconsistent-----again, it'll be inconsistent as devices are moving around when they're connected to it. Its useful to show that devices are connected but since it can't show all devices, it should be more of just a "devices are connected" light and not show signal connection.
