Hello @WAMalcolm2025 ,

Thanks for contacting our community.

 

Would you like to create an EasyMesh network between the modem and your extender? What is the model, hardware, and firmware version of your extender? 

Due to the asynchronous nature of EasyMesh technology, it is currently necessary to temporarily disable EasyMesh and conventionally configure the extender.

 

Here are the suggested steps to restore your network connection:

  • Please temporarily disable EasyMesh on the VX420-G2H. 
  • It is recommended that you reset the Range Extender entirely before the Quick Setup.
  • Then, perform the Quick Setup on the Range Extender. 

 

Please keep an eye out for the next official firmware update for the VX420-G2H, as this unexpected behavior will be corrected

 

For more details, please refer here.

When activate WPS on VX420-G2h, you will then have two minutes to press the physical WPS button on the client device to connect them.
