Updated Firmware - Extender Does Not Connect Properly on EX7000 Extender
I've had an EX7000 AC1900 Extender/AP since the Fall of 2016, working very well with my Asus RT-N66R Router. Once in a great while, there would be a drop, but I was always able to reconnect. Today (10/18/17) I was having a problem in the room where the extender is located (far bedroom on single-level home). I connected an Ethernet cable between my laptop and the extender and requested the "mywifiext.net." The new "Genie" opened and immediately advised I needed a firmware update to v.1.0.0.50_1.0.102, so I proceeded with the upgrade and that's been the end of any dependable connection between the two. I've performed two complete resets on the Asus router and four on the Extender. Sometimes the wired connection between the laptop and extender worked, but the wireless failed. Then the wireless worked, however when I attempted to connect to the Extender's signals, I would repeatedly face a "incorrect password," error. Of course, I validated the passwords on both units multiple times and they are a match as well as verifying that I am correctly entering the password each and every time. Does anyone know if there is a problem with this version of the firmware? I'd really appreciate some positive advice (other than going out and buying a newer set!) Thanks!EX7000 Extender setup
This unit has worked fine for over a year. 2 weeks ago it stopped allowing ipad pro and samsung tab s10.5 to connect. The tried a couple more tablets but same and all them connect to other networks when taken offsite. They try to connect but says failed to obtain ip address. Tried going through resetting router a few times but to no avail. Had back up of router from when it worked ok but this also does not work either. My laptop with belkin dual band usb works fine. Also I go through set up and after setting up network name and security it fails to connect and then wont allow connection and displays message below on all devices. It not a WPA2 OR WEP issue as tried with no security and is the same. message below This site can’t be reached www.mywifiext.net refused to connect.

Hello, I have a Nighthawk AC5300 (R8500) that I am extending with a Nighthawk AC1900 (EX7000) extender. This is working very well, but I want to push a signal further. I have a WN2500RP extender that I have configured, but the WN2500RP does not see the internet. Is this an IP conflict? Can anyone help me with this? Thanks for the guidance !EX7000 VPN Passthrough
I'm trying to get mystery DD-WRT router working as a VPN client with ExpressVPN, but not having success. Im trying to rule out the EX7000 extender that it is plugged into. (The EX7000 is hardwired to my Rogers CGN4 modem router in another room.) How can I confirm that VPN Passthrough is enabled on the EX7000? I can't find any options in the mywifiext.net interface.

Hello Guys, i have a big issue with my Range Extender* ( EX7000). (I'm connected to the 2GEXT.) The problem is that my Labtop, Computer connects fine to the RE* ... but my other devices like my PS4, Iphone , IPad have Problems with the Connection. I solved the Problem on the I/phone/pad by typing the CLIENT-ID manually in the WLAN Settings from the RE. But on the PS4 i can't connect to the RE. I tested it via LAN and WLAN Connection.. FAILED.. But when i connect to the main WIFI Connection everything works fine.. Also tried to reset the RE Device.. same result. I also have Problems to connect on http://mywifiext.net/. My Internet explorer tells me ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT while i'm connected to the RE Device... Can anybody help me or have the same Problem with the RE EX7000 ? Thanks RufiiDHCP not working when connected to 5Ghz on EX7000 extender
I have a weird issue with DHCP on the 5Ghz band. I am using the EX7000 as an extender to a CISCO E4200 which is the DHCP server. I extend both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands. I have configured the DHCP server for a reduced range of address (a.b.c.100 to a.b.c.130) On the Cisco, I can connect any device at will on the 2.4 or 5.8 Ghz networks. On the Netgear Ex7000 extander, it is more tricky. On the 2..4 Ghz, i can connect any device on the extender and it will be assigned an address within seconds. On the 5 Ghz band, it is more unreliable. If I force a device to move from the 2.4 Ghz SSID to the 5 Ghz one, most of the time, the DHCP request will timeout after a minute or so and revert back to 2.4 Ghz. SOmetimes it will work. Any idea how to get that to work ? Both the Cisco Router and the EX7000 are loaded with the latest firmware available.EX7300 (WALLPLUG) vs EX7000 (DESKTOP) ? Which one is overall better? Which one to buy?
Hello nice community people.. I have a question.. I own these 2 products, its more of like.. which one should I return? First, I bought EX7300 (WALL PLUG) without knowing advantages or whatever it is, im new to this. I had disconnection issues with the wall plug everytime.. and it is starting to get annoying.. So I bought the Desktop version the EX7000... Now I put them together I can see the EX7300 outputting only 580mbps on 5GHZ, the EX7000 outputting 780mbps.. why is that? Now when me and my girlfriend use speedtest on how well these 2 perform.. With EX7300.. we get equal 30mbps each at the same time.. with EX7000 I get 60mbps and my girlfriend 15mbps... Why is that? (Sorry im noob) Is it because of the MU-MIMO feature? Now with signal... My EX7300 gets 45% signal from the 5Ghz.... while my EX7000 gets only 28% signal from the 5Ghz. But how is it that my EX7000 is outputting 780mbps vs the 580mbps EX7300??? is it because of the EX7000 have dual core processors?? how many processors does EX73000 have?? What are the actual specs of EX7300? vs the EX7000? What are the differences in features and performance? (Sorry I am just too noob) Will the Desktop version have MU-MIMO?? better signal?? I am very stupid please understand im new. If you guys could let me know what should I do?? Should I get a replacement of EX7300 + Ethernet switch?? or Keep the EX7000 DESKTOP and return the Wallplug EX7300??? Please I really need help to understand.. Last but not the least.. Why does my EX7300 keep randomly disconnecting? is it because of bandwidth overload??
