I am trying to configure the Nighthawk as a access point

Hi

 

I am trying to configure the nighthawk, EX7000 as an access point but it isn't working. I have my router connected to the GS108PEv3, and this is wired to where the EX7000 is kept. I have connected my laptop to the same connection and I get a connection from it so I know its not the wiring.

 

When i plug it in then try and set it up it says that there is no internet connection available. 

 

What should I do.

 

Thanks

    First, you need to make sure that a computer can go online when connected to the GS108PEv3. See page 18-20 of the user manual, follow the steps on configuring the extender as an AP. It is better if you perform a factory reset first to make sure that any previous configuration will not affect the new setup. 

     

    Thanks,
