Can't connect to WN3000RP
Hi,
I have my extender connected to my router and I have 4 green lights on the extender. When I try to connect to it using ipad, phone or mac I just get the spinning wheel. This stays on for ages, 20 minutes earlier, before I eventually give in.
I can connect to my router without any issues with all 3 devices.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I've tried to get into the admin of the extender but whenever I go to 192.168.1.250 I just get sent to the wifi connection page and asked to enter my WPA key.
Thanks- From the location where your WN3000RP, does your ipad, phone can connect to your Dreytek Vigor 2710 wireless SSID and able to go online?
Please try accessing the GUI through mywifiext.net or ping it. It should reply with the WN3000RP's IP address(if the IP changed).
btw did you set the SSID for the WN3000RP same as your router? - Hello Storm. I am having the same difficulty as Forsh75. Following answers to the questions you posed to him:

Hi Pater1946, I suggest you these steps below:
1. Perform a factory reset on this unit.
2. Connect wired or wireless to the extender SSID.
3. If you will not get a valid IP address set a static IP address of 192.168.0.50(just an example).
4. Access the extender's GUI through 192.168.0.250.
5. Once login kindly set a static values for the extender:
IP: 192.168.0.250
SM : 255.255.255.0
DG : 192.168.0.35 (Router's IP address)
6. Connect the extender to the router's SSID. Make sure to fill the right credentials of the router.
Let me know if this works.- I hate this range extender. always losing it's connection, so unreliable and setup is a nightmare.
Netgear will not provide ANY help unless you pay them. I can't wait until my wifi equipment dies, I'm switching to someone with better customer service. jpcamaro70 wrote: I hate this range extender. always losing it's connection, so unreliable and setup is a nightmare.

What is the color of the link LED of the extender? Try to move the extender closer to your router. Also try changing channels. Remove any wireless device in between the extender and the router.
