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 ...

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
1. Use a high DHCP address e.g. 192.168.1.222, this is only intended as a test at the moment to identify the issue, but the address you used will definately not work.
2. use the suggested DNS
3. No proxy is needed.
Hi,
I had exactly the same issue with a brand new Samsung GS6 : "Failed to obtain IP address". All my other devices work fine (MacBook, iPhone, Z2 tablet).
I changed WiFi settings on my SG6 : Static mode with IP address = 192.168.1.222. Now, my SG6 is connected to the WN3000RP (the signal is very strong), but not connected to the internet : all my connections fail (chrome, google play, ...)
Thanks for help.
