Alternate login for Netgear WN3000RP
I have an older range extender that I'm still trying to use. I have not been able to log onto the device with therecommended address (forum rules won't let me post it) to see if the firmware needs t...
If the extender is connected to the linksys its running off the linksys's signal.
Did you remove that as well?
Reason I asks it hot spots notoriously don't have good 2.4ghz/5ghz broadcast powers/capabilities. Its why for home use, they tend to be connected to a router.
That could be why you no longer have decent signal at the garage for the extender to pick up and rebroadcast. The extenders still need a decent signal to connect to.
Yes, There is the hotspot, connected (wired) to router, and my extender to the shop. Unless I mis-read your question.
Thank you
so you're still using the linksys.
So what speeds do you get off the linksys?
The extender has to run off the linksys so if its getting slower speeds so will the extender.
You can always try factory resetting the extender and reinstalling it.
I get totally acceptable (for my situation) speeds directly from the hotspot, and then also from the router. Problem with the sotspot (the original reason for my post), I'm trying to find an alternate way to log onto the extender, as when I try now, I just get an "unable to connect"
page on my browser. I wanted to see if it needed a firmware update.
Speed results from the router
Speed results from the Hotspot device.
More thanks!
Pictures take a while to show because a moderator has to approve them. You can just put the numbers :)
Did you log into your linksys to see what aip address it was assigning to your extender? its should have an attached devices (or equivelent) page to view whats connected and its ip address.
Use that address to access the extender
