EX2700 Will No Longer Find Router/Wifi Network
Hi everyone,
My N300 Wifi Range Extender (Model EX2700) had been working fine until today when it can no longer connect to my router.
I have tried a factory reset, and tried connecting through WPA and the Assistant. The Extender seems to be able to find every router/wifi network in the vicinity (i.e. neighbours) but mine.
It continuously says the Extender cannot connect to the Router. The LED Router light is very faint as well.
I moved the Extender to the same room as the Router but I am stuck. Not sure what the issue is.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
I ended up resolving the issue. I kept the extender unplugged for a day or two but also unplugged the router.
Factory reset the extender, and set it up via the Installation Assistant through the browser. It finally found my network again after the router was unplugged.

- Any answers yet??? I am having almost an identical problem. I swapped out my router equipment and everything seem to be going fine. The extender shows up in my options, but when I click on it, it asks for the password when I enter the password, which is the same for the router it says it is incorrect, and I can go no further. I have tried the WPS connection. Nothing happens. The router light is not on and while I’m in the process of trying to sign in the device light will come on, but I get bumped out by the password problem.
