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!

Hello, i'm facing exactly that problem.
I have tried to connect other devices and every time and with any device have to do the same steps.
1. Connect on modem's network, to get access on wifi.
2. Connect on extender WN2000RPT after joining modem's network.
1st step cannot be skipped.

Hi Akis_P,
Can you please clarify which modem you are using?
Which firmware version is on your WN2000RPT?
Have you tried changing the security modes on your Modem and Extender? (for example: temporarily try No Security (no password))

Hello,
Wish happy and healthy 2016!
Just changed the security mode removing the security code, but the problem remain the same, Modem is: WN2000RPTv3 and Firmware is: V1.0.1.4.
Please give me a solution, because it is getting more and more annoying doing this thing every day for one and a half month.
Thank you in advance.
