    To all people with the same problem!!!

    Here is the solution!!!

    Enter repeater's adress http://www.mywifiext.net go to settings-wireless-ip adress and change "Get Dynamically IP Address From Router" to "Use static IP adress" click save and you can connect your devices to repeater without connecting firstly with your modem!

I have the same problem, but then on an wn3000rp. There are 2 problems. 1. when you connect you device first to the _ext network you will not get internet. You can solve this to first connect to the main network and then to the _ext.

 

The second problem that I have with the extender is that every, I don't know, 10 to 12 days I have to reset my extender because it wil not work anymore. I does have connection to my main and you can connect to it, but it will not give you internet ever. Not even with the description above.

 

I did a factory reset and set it up so that the extender is a extension of my main network. The ip adress is given by my main network.
