EX3800 Extender mode (WPS) won't go off
EX3800 won't switch from extender mode to access point mode ONLY. "WPS" light is always on, no matter what I do. "Router" -light also turns on, so access point mode is starting, but same time "WPS"-light is still green. I have tried to push WPS-button for 5 sec so that green light starts to blink. Power-light goes orange, and turns to green after a while. But after blinking, WPS-light is always on, while router-light gets off and on, switching normally as it should. According to manual, WPS-light and router-light shouldn't be green at same time. EX3800 is connected to Netgear WiFi-router with ethernet-cable, from main building to another. I need to expand my Wi-Fi with cable, because with extender mode the EX3800 can't reach the router on air. I made setup first time, by connectin EX3800 to router in same room with short cable. Setup worked out fine. Router light was on, WPS off and everything worked nicely. Then I moved EX3800 to another building and made same cable-connection. Only difference is that cable lenght is longer, as I use ethernet sockets in walls. EX3800 found the router as earlier, but now the WPS light won't go off. I also pushed factory reset and made setup again. Same result, WPS light is green and won't go off. (NGEX3800ACRP, firmware updated)Model EX6000 unable to enter Extender mode
Just bought an EX6000 and am beginning to set it up. I placed the extender into the same room as the router and plugged it in. On plugging it in, the Power LED is Orange. WPS/Mode LED is off. * Press the Power on/off button. * Power light becomes green. WPS/Mode LED still off. * Press WPS/Mode Button for more than 5 seconds. * Power light turns orange. WPS/Mode Button blinks green. * Power light turns green. WPS/Mode Button turns off. The Extender doesn't seent to want to enter Extender mode - can anyone help with this? Is this a faulty device?
