The netgear_ext network is no longer being created (NETGEAR WiFi 6 AX1600 EAX12)
I purchased the NETGEAR WiFi 6 AX1600 EAX12 (model number: EAX12-100PES), and it has worked perfectly until recently. Suddenly, none of my devices can connect to the extender anymore. The WiFi network NETGEAR_EXT is no longer visible or being broadcast.Here is what I have tried so far: Full reset of the device (multiple times) Firmware update via Ethernet connection Waiting for the device to reboot and stabilize (power LED is solid) Connecting to 192.168.1.250 via Ethernet — which works — but the extender does not create or broadcast the setup WiFi network Despite all this, the NETGEAR_EXT network does not appear, and I am unable to reconnect or configure the device wirelessly.
