How to update the firmware of my Ex7300 extender ?
My new wifi range extender which is EX7300 is having all four solid green lights on it which means it is configured but still I keep on loosing internet on it which is very annoying to me . I was told to update the firmware on it I tried to get on http://www.mywifiext.net or http://www.mywifiextnett.net but got no success in it please help me with the sameEX6150 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.
WN 2000rpt problematic with drop signal and buggy firmware update
Hello, I have a Netgear wn2000rpt extender with the original firmware that drops the connection to the wireless router. This is what I have done so far: Set the RPT MAC and IP address as a static address on the Wifi router. FAIL- same issue Reset to factory Use WPS button to automatically set up router and the RPT used the same SSID and WPA2 security as the router. .FAIL- same issue Reset to factory Manually connect to the setup interface and used the wizard to configure the RPT and it uses the same SSID and WPA2 as the router. .FAIL- same issue After looking up the issues on google i tried to reconnect to the RPT using the web address www.mywifiext.net Fist on windows 7 with IE .FAIL webpage connection error Next with Chrome .FAIL webpage connection error Next on windows 10.FAIL webpage connection error on both IE and chrome Next I used an old IPAD and could connect to the RPT GUI and found out that it had the original firmware. Next I download the .24 firmware and tried to upload it but the RPT GUI could not find the file. FAIL Next the instructions said I might have to unzip the file (really for firmware?) so I attempted to unpack it using winzip Result was a readme file and and img file (that winzip saw as a zip file but could not unpack) Attempted to load the img flie with the same result as the prior FAIL Next contacted netgear support but they wanted a fee to update the RPT Firmware. FAIL- might as well put the money to a new extender but with this experience I am forced to carefully shop for a better product. So unless someone has specific instruction on how to work around all the bugs on the Netgear wn2000rpt I guess I'll use this as a door stop for now. Case: WN2000RPT dropps connection and can't update firmware, no knowlege baseWN604 firmware upgrade from 2.3.2 to 3.3.2 and away from air...
Just to tell the story: I have a WN604 operating for YEARS in my home network, just needed 2 reboots so far after running in an error - the 2nd reboot was today (entire network was down because the WN604). So while checking if it works after reboot I just got the idea that there could be a newer firmware version available than 2.3.2 that I had - and it was: 3.3.2. I should have known, but I was in a mood to touch a running system.... The upgrade did run properly and over the cable conection I could reconnect to the WN604 after the automatic reboot. BUT MY WLAN WAS NO MORE VISIBLE FOR ANY WIRELESS DEVICE!! I tried an tried to change something - but no success. I've seen the "blue light" at the device beeing just on without any flickering. I got my WLAN back after I "updated" version 2.3.2 again - what erased all configurations.... but I found my WLAN again in the air. So I've learned once more: NEVER TOUCH A **bleep** RUNNING SYSTEM!!!!!
