Connection to network but not internet on one device
Hi,
I recently got a WN3000RP. I found the set up easy and was able to connect all my devices (pc, laptop, phone). I set up the extender on my pc as this was the main reason I bought it due to a weak wireless card.
It worked fine until I turned off my pc, when I turned it back on it connects to the SSID_EXT but does not connect to the internet. All other devices I have tried are able to connect to the internet just fine through the SSID_EXT network.
I moved my pc into range of the router and it also can connect to the internet fine through that network. Can anyone help me on this???

Yes it connects to the LAN but not to the internet. All other devices I have connect to both. - storm_2003NoviceIf you just want to connect wired on your pc I suggest you disable the wireless card.
Please check if the local adapter is set to dynamic or static.
Is it a valid IP address within the router's range?
Also check if the DNS address.
If DNS not pingable try to set a static DNS on the extender using the router's IP address. - iNTXIXUAspirantHello,
