EX6150 Default IP for hardware port
What is the default IP for the ethernet port on the EX6150 v2? The firmware update page clearly states that firmware updates should be done with the hardware port. https://kb.netgear.com/000049574/EX6100v2-EX6150v2-Firmware-Version-1-0-1-54# "To Upgrade Note: To avoid wireless disconnect issue during the firmware download process, NETGEAR recommends that firmware upgrade be performed on a computer with wired connection." But the procedure on that page is useless! There are no wireless networks yet. I have to unplug the computer from the wired network to plug into the EX6150. But I can't find the IP listed anywhere! On all other devices, I set the computers IP to be on the same sub net as the default IP, bring up a browser, type in the devices IP for the address and the device shows a login window that gets me to the settings pages. I am setting this up for someone offsite, so there is no wireless network. I need to set it up solely with the ethernet port! What is the default IP for the ethernet port on the EX6150 v2? Thanks.Range Extender for an R7800
Hi All, For my home network i am gonna buy the Netgear R7800 but furthermore i am searching for an good range extender for those spots where the wifi won't reach. I checked the netgear website and i am doubting on 2 models EX6150 & EX7300 Was wondering if somebody can give my their opinion / advise or maybe suggest even an whole other model ? Furthermore i am wondering if i can use the same SSID on my router as on the range extenders ? So i don't need to change everytime from wifi spot. Hoping you can advise me Thanks in advancedFirmware upgrade of AC1200 (EX6150v2) seems to have bricked device
It is actually a EX6150 v2 but that Model was not available from the drop down Logged in last night to change my config so the extended network had separate SSIDs from the router (D7000 AC1900) as it regularly stopped the Wifi HP printer connecting to the wifi. The Netgear software suggested upgrading to the latest firmware (sorry cannot remember what version) which downloaded to 100% and then applied itself to 100% and recycled itself. Unfortunately it never came back. The power light came back on but no configuration and no way to access. A router reset illuminates the row of Router and client LEDs in pink but once they extinguish only the power light remains on and whether I am in extender mode or Access Point mode I cannot find anyway to access the extender. It was originally sourced from the BETA program and had worked fine for 6 months or so. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could recover the device?EX6150 access schedule
The "learn more" link in the description of the access schedule says that both wired and wirelessly connected devices will have their access controlled via the schedule I've set up. However, only the wireless devices are; the wired computer has full-time access. The firmware is up to date, and everything else appears to be functioning normally. What can I do to get the wired devices access controlled by the access schedule I've set?Impossible to configure EX6150 as access point
While setting up my EX6150 as an acces point, the initial configuration seems to be OK and I can connect to the internet (unsecure/NETGEAR_5GEXT). But whenever I try to configure it with following the link www.mywifiext.net and I start to input my E-mail and answer the security questions, the internet connection breaks down and I cannot complete the registration. Other computers (connected to ethernet) still have stable internet access. I already tried multiple different devices (laptops and mobiles) with the same result. My configuration: Router: AVM Fritz!Box 6490 Cable Switch: Netgear ProSAFE GS108Ev3 --> Ethernet conncted computers, TV... Access Point EX6150 should be used to provide WiFi on 2nd Floor Thanks for helping... JörgEX6150 as a wfi extender with powerline extenders
I have an EX6150 already and want to add powerline extenders to my network. I noticed in the powerline +WIFI option, the WIFI extender looks nearly identical to the EX6150. So my question is this, if I set up a powerline extension, will the 6150 pick that up thru the electirical outlet and broadcast an extended WiFi signal (and the cable port as well), or would I need to purchase the powerline +WIFI set instead? Thanks Davetrouble with ex6150 setup
Running Windows 10. Just plugged in new EX6150. This is initial setup. First attempt was to use WPS but that failed. Next I went to www.mywifiext.net. Expecting setup screen instead i get the Oops! screen. Did I do something wrong or did I just fall through some netgear crack? Please help. Thanks, Manny
