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 ...
I've got the same problem as bobnelms. In fact, I'm responding with my Galaxy S4 which is connected through the WN3000RP range extender to a WNDR4000 router. It has worked for years, and continues to. But when I try to connect with a Galaxy S6 Edge plus (AT&T), I get errors. The Galaxy S6 Edge plus connects directly to the WNDR4000 with no problem. It (phone) also connects to an Xfinity router as well. It's only a problem with the range extender. I have two range extenders and neither work with this new phone. I've rebooted the network, rebooted the extender, reset the extender, etc. I even tried turning off LTE on the phone as someone suggested on another forum (didn't work). That sounded dubious, but it was easy to try.
I have to believe there is some incompatibility between the extender and the S6.
I'll keep searching the internets. If I find an answer somewhere else, I'll post it here.
Oh, and iPhones 4, 5s, and 6, as well as a nexus tablet can connect to the extenders with no problem for me also.
Perhaps I need to copy this to a Samsung Galaxy forum instead since all these other devices have no problem with the range extender.
