{X8 R8500 AC5300 & X6S EX8000 AC3000 Extender} Lost my 5G-2 radio?
The initial install was "sweet" -- I invited my boss over, to show and tell, and won him over to upgrade himself. Then I started rearranging the beast and cables to take advantage of the local work flow and messed things up.... The initial X8 R8500 AC5300 was a flawless 2.4Ghz & 2x5.0Ghz (5G and 5G-2). During the initial attach of the X6S range extender, the setup recommended I use the 5G-2 and a channel between >100. Cool.... All latest firmware, flawless mesh, intelligient QOS, one Happy Camper.... Somehow while rearranging "The Beast" (my fond name for this router), the 5G-2 connection to the her is almost impossible to connect to (times out). Only one device (a MacBook Pro) located close to The Beast could acquire 5G-2. It was at this stage where I believe I confused the X8 R8500. Sure hope I didn't break anything..... It was 2am and I was able to get {X8 R8500 AC5300 <---> X6S EX8000 AC3000} running with 2.4GHz and 5G (not the 5G-2) working (all with latest firmware). I am here.... I would like to recover the 5G-2 out of the router as the setups suggested better robustness/performance. As far as factory resets, I've only done so with the X6S EX8000. Didn't try such with the X8 R8500. I acquire wifi hardware about once every 10-15 years, admittedly not as proficient as I should be, and mighty pleased with how far the support s/w has come. Simply need some help getting back to what I think will be the setup to carry me through. Sorry if I got any lingo wrong. Me and The Beast....
EX6100 unable to register account
Just upgraded my extenders firmware but I am now unable to login to the extender router setup menu. Tried factory reset a couple of times, different browsers (wireless from iPad / Safari, wired with Explorer 10, Chrome) but I cannot get past the Account registration meny. First I get the splash screen "New Extender setup". Then I get the Register new account page - (note I run Swedish language); - Filling in a password twice for the "admin" account - Filling two password recovery questions After completing the last response to recovery question number two, I was expected the button "Next" at the bottom of the screen to change colour so it becomes clickable. No such think happens, regardless of whoich browser I use. Basically, I tried this a couple of time without success, now it seems stuck I cannot access the mywifiext.net setup menu at all. Any hints are much appreciatedPassword for network does not work on extender
I recently bought a NETGEAR Mini N300 Mbps Wi-Fi Range Extender with External Antennas (Wi-Fi Booster) (EX2700-100UKS) from Amazon. It has connected fine to our router but when I input the router password and try to connect with it from my laptop or mobile it does not work. On the iphone it says that the password is incorrect but it is definitely the right password for the router. Has anyone had this problem and managed to resolve it? ThanksCan never get to www.mywifiext.net
I have just purchased this extender less than 2 weeks ago.It worked great up till 2 days ago.Now when my signal drops between 4 to 6 times a day.When I try to go to another netgear site it tells me I,m not connected.How are we suppose to get these set up properly if we can never get onto the web site?I have tried IE,Google Chrome,and Firefox.I cleared my cookies,history,cache,and everything else.And still nothing.It just keeps saying either My firewall is stopping it or I am not connected to the internet and to rest the page which never works.Mcafee does not have certain web sites that are blocked.Only something called netguard, and when I turned that off I was hit with tons of pop ups in seconds.Is there anything else I can try before taking this thing back?Thank You
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... JörgEX6100 wifi extender set up troubles
Hi I've been trying to install the range extender without much success. the genie didn't start up, so connected directly and went in through 192.168.1.1. Had trouble with passwords, but thought I worked it out, There was no check box allowing me to use the same security settings.Can I have a different password on the extender from the router? Still couldn't access any wireless devices properly. had all green lights, but no internet and each item required a login and password - would it be admin/password? What happens if I don't connect them all before clicking continue (page 11 of set up guide) Can they be connected later? This morning tried again, still no internet access, and couldn't get an windows device to connect to the network at all through the extender. Went through the factory reset then updated firmware bypassing genie. Now it wants me to sign in but won't accept admin/password. What do I do now? (I'm tempted to throw it away, but a waste of money). All I wanted was something to plug in which would make the existing wireless network stronger at the other end of the house.wn2000rpt
Last night while I was sleeping my Internet extender stopped working. I use It to connect my tower to the wifi and I need it for homework tonight. Anyway, when I woke up all lights were green except the top one, which was red. I've had a ton of issues with this thing already so I just factory reset it without trying anything else. I'm going through the setup process with a laptop and right at the end it says my wifi has disappeared and to move it closer. The wifi was still working as my phone was still connected to it during the install. This has happened 6 times in a row and I've tried turning the main wifi on and off with no results. The wifi is some type of motorola modem btw. Any ideas on how to fix it? Network dignostics say that "the remote device or resource wont accept the connection"
