8. EX6130 mode-switch and antenna checks
Use the EX6130 link/placement indicators before changing passwords or performing a factory reset. A weak router-to-extender link can make otherwise correct setup credentials appear unreliable. If a client connects to EX6130 but Internet access fails, verify the router uplink first, then check DHCP/gateway information on the client. A connected WiFi icon only confirms the local radio association.
