Ex3700 lan port not working
When I connect to the extender via WiFi with my laptop I can connect and surf the internet fine. When I connect any device via the device/lan port I can't get to the internet.
It was working for about 2 weeks and just suddenly stopped. I didn't change anything.
Anyone have this or have any suggestions to get the lan port working.
The repeater has good signal to the main router and I have it set as its own SSID.

When I have it right you can define to which of the two networks (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) te LAN port is mapped to.
Check the extender Web UI is both bands are up connecting to the primary router.

Should this band not have an uplink connection - here it's the 2.4 GHz which as none (so the above does work) - the LAN port would not have a connection to the primary router and the Internet.
Information about details are everything - without it's hard to help.
