Connected to Extender, but no Internet
hello, I have a range extender (EX6150v2) that has connected to a working public wifi network, but will not connect to the internet. i have seen similar problems on these forums before, but none...
Hi DarrenM, I'm using the same model EX6150v2 and I have successfully set it up but there's no internet connection. It is extending for a public wifi and there is no sign in for it. Clarifying that there is no no need to sign in, how do I solve this problem? Thank you in advance!
Hello Haihacong
It could be a IP issue being a public address typically the extender will assign a 192.168.x.xxx Ip to your device when maybe the public connection could be using something different. Check the Ip address of the main network then check what Ip address you get when connected to the extender. Also if you are using a windows device make sure it sees the network as a home network and not a public one this could limit the connection as well.
