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...
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
My Lord! What an afternoon.
I have finally been able to log onto the extender, and updated the firmware. I ran another speed test on the extender (in the same room as the router). Speeds from the extender (not sure what all the numbers mean) ping at- Extender - ping 61 ms, download 20.06 mbps (not a typo), upload 11.57 mbps
- Router - ping 69 ms, download 127.98 mbps, upload 15.78 mbps
- hotspot - ping 66 ms, dwn 122.86 mbps, upload 21.64 mbps
My extender numbers are awful. I have a new extender coming, but I still wanted to see if I could make this one work. The extender numbers are awful, but again, I wonder, why are the numbers so poor when I was getting acceptable results last week with only a different hotspot device? I could upload and download .zip files, and graphics files off of the extender, and easily browse webpages and watch you tube vids. It just seems odd.
I truly appreciate any assistance or advice.
