Limited Connectivity

I would contact support.

Hey, just joined because of this problem - I spent nearly 2 days on this issue so far and it is getting so frustrated

I have 2 laptops and both work ok - both on windows 8.1 and both access the internet through my provider combo router (tv, phone, internet). but both show limited if I try to access my _ext network which is the one from the extender. :mad:

Already spent hours with one of their technicien who told me to exchange the extender - I did and guess what same problem so it is not the extender. it is something to do with windows 8 somewhere and netgear setup.

have a tp link extender so tried it and works fine but doesn't extend the signal far enough. so it is specific to netgear - so frustrating i can't find a solution - i'm sure it is a 2 min fix if only I and they knew what to do?

surely there has to be others with that same problem?

by the way my old laptop which is not working for now as the power lead died on me which was on Windows 7 worked fine on both the wifi router network and the netgear extender wifi network

So it's got to be a windows 8 and netgear software issue- there must be a solution somewhere anyone ?

I am having the same problem. I switch my cable modem to a new new for the DOCSIS update and now I am getting limited Internet access which keeps dropping on and off so I can't connect to any web page. Frustrating! We have Windows 8 also. I've tried all kinds of changes I found from a google search, this is my second day of trying to fix. Please let me know if you get fixed. Thanks

Can you still connect to your main router's SSID and able to go online wirelessly?
