{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....Strange or not? Two LAN on same Orbi?
I have rbk50 and installed them correct. But I find it a bit strange that I can access my primary router using borth 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1. Is this a faulty setup or is my router operating om both LAN levels? When entring my router using 1.1, I can see it the setup page that I have sat internal LAN to be 0.1. Should it be like this? I just think it is strange...2,4/5 thing?Router reset without print or user maual
I forgot everything that I need for my router and I would like to reset it but the print on the side panel is ripped off and I don't have a user manual for it, am I able to still sit it up without using the print and user manual to set it up? For connecting to wifi I can't hook up to itWink Hub - Losing WiFi config
My wink lights have been stable for a year now, responding to Alexa/Echo as expected. Since replacing 4 small APs with the Orbi two days ago, my Wink hub goes into wifi setup mode (pink/purple flashing light) daily. Repeating the wifi brings it back online. Based on conversations here, I suspect the satellite (3 ft from wink) is dropping out, causing Wink to think the SSID no longer exists. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, is there a way to search only the Orbi forum?
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
