Brand new Samsung S6 Smartphone will not communicate with WN3000RP
I have 2 other devices, a notebook and another android that communicate just fine, but my brand new S6 will not hook up to the extender. I have reset the modem, the extender, and the phone itself. I ...
Thanks for your help, but I'm afraid I'm not doing something right.
First of all, the extender that I am trying to use works fine for all other devices that use it in my home (another smart phone, a tablet, and 2 laptops). So it's not that the extender cannot connect to the internet. I has to be a setting within my new Galaxy S6 smartphone, or perhaps the extender is incompatible with this S6?.
Please remember that my S6 DOES connect to and communicate with the internet just fine through the wireless router (not extender but router). This is only an issue with the connection to the extender.
So here are my questions:
1. What static IP address should I be using? Should it be the address of the extender itself, i.e., 192.168.1.15? That's what I tried. Or do I simply make up an address?
2. What DNS 1 and DNS 2 address should I use? The example in the link used 8.8.8.8, and 8.8.4.4, so that's what I used. Is this right?
3. And what about the PROXY setting? I currently have it set to NONE. Is this right?
Thanks again
