Connected to Extender, but no Internet
I see that there is another thread where the resolution was buying a different brand extender. This is my 2nd attempt at an extender (1st brand as an off brand - ROCKSPACE), so I figured I'd ask befo...

I had the same problem with a N300 Wifi Range Extender but was able to finally solve it. Initially, although I can connect the extender to the router, the devices that are connected to the extender did not have internet. In my case, it was the router (Netgear WNDR3400v3) that was causing the problem. It has, by default, the extender's internet "Blocked". I was able to change its status to "Allowed" by going to the router's configuration website (www.routerlogin.net).
I did not have to buy a more expensive model or try a new brand.
EX7000 - I set up the device as an extender for my BT HomeHub 6. It sets up, but then when I connect my laptop to the extender, it gets assigned an IP address like:
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.5.95
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
When it should be getting something like :
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.234
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
which ultimately leads my laptop to be able to connect to the internal network but then have no internet access. Ant idea how I set the IP address of the extender now its set up so to assigned it a correct IP addresses?
