Extender not showing on network list
I plugged in my WN2000RPTv2 and it shows as green. I pressed the WPS button and went to my router, but it doesn't have a WPS button. (I have a Netgear RangeMax WNR834B routher and a Telephony modem). ...
Yes it did show at one time on my PC at one time . 5Gext also does not show up on my network connections on Netgear Genie either, but does show up on mobile devices and it does work.
Hi Jimbo888,
Which router model are you using with the extender?
Please check if the router is Broadcasting its SSID.
Please also try to configure the 5ghz to different channels and modes.
Here is an example of a NETGEAR router settings page
When I open netgear genie My wireless connections does not list 5Gext . So I cannot config. as your example shows . It only lists my Router , and 2Gext. I must say again everything works with my extender 6100, On any portable device it lists all 3 , my router SSID # , 2Gext , and 5Gext . They all work the only problem is the 5Ext is open and not secure. My PC does not list 5Ext as a connection option, and netgear genie does not list the 5Ext. Only my SSID # and 2 Gext.All I am trying to do is secure ther 5Gext.
