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.Effect of replacing modem/router on an existing extender
My current modem/router is the C3700 Docsis 2.0. I just got off the phone with Comcast, and they informed me that I need to upgrade the modem to Docsis 3.0. I'm considering purchasing the C6300. However, a year ago I purchased an extender, the EX7000, and I'm not sure whether I'm going to encounter any problems with linking the EX7000 to the C6300. In fact, I don't even know what the steps are to link the extender to the new modem/router even if I can do so. Can anyone help? (Sorry if my question sounds like I'm clueless, but I'm not particularly tech-savvy.) Thanks.
