Hi
So i have the same problem and the same question: Why should the operating system have anything to do with the wifi extender's function? I thing it's even interfering with the connection to the main wifi access point.
Netgear publishes a list of devices with Windows 10 support:
Unfortunately, the wn3000rp is not on it. Hhhmm......
Deconnection and reconnecting, power off and on, new firmware...... nothing does help at this point except - switch off the extender.
The router and extender functionality are not dependent on what operating system you have.
Which router is connected to your router?
Is the router updated to latest firmware?
Please try resetting the WN3000rp to factory default.
Press and hold the Factory Settings button on the side panel for 7 seconds.
The Extender resets, and returns to its factory settings.

Also place the WN3000rp in the same room as your router and test the connection.
Another option is to change the WiFi channel on your router, see
