WN2000RPT - Can not connect

Hello, everyone.

 

I am trying to revive an old WN2000RPT to leave it in the kitchen.

 

I am going through the installation procedure with a wired connection in 192.168.1.250. All was good till near the end, when it says that you have to connect to the created extend wi-fi in the repeater (SSID_EXT and same password) to go on. No way what you do, but the PC can not connect to the extended wi-fi.

 

Any idea how to fix this, or I must convert it on a paper weight?

 

Thanks in advance.

the extender is hardwired into the router? or to the pc using for setup? 

If its hardwired to the router, then it needs to be setup in AP mode. 

 

when you run through setup, check in the routers attached devices page for the extenders new IP address and use that to access it
