not all routers pass the wifiext correctly.

What router are you using?

    jstrehl Your extender isn't the same model as the OP. You can read through the thread to see what's already been recommended (and could well work with your issue) but if you're unable to get it working, please start your own thread instead of jumping in on one with different hardware.

    Extender lights come on but if I log on to net gear all other apps become unusable? Haven't/can't register on netgear site to give as suggested password etc?.

    The default IP (192.168.1.250) is only in place if there was no response from the LAN DHCP server.

     

    Open a Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or other browser window and enter http://192.168.1.254 to access the BGW210 gateway.
