N300 Wifi extender
Hey guys, I recently bought the extender and I have some problems with it. I successfully connected in with my router (Not a Netgear router). So to begin with, I want to ask, does this extender on...
Connect your PC to the extender with a cable and visit http://mywifiext.net. This should bring up the login page for the extender. The defaults are admin and password. Once you are logged in, goto to the Wireless Settings and check the password. If it's different than what you expect, then change it. Then, try connecting a device to the _EXT network.
Thankful for your anwer. I have the EXT as a option in the wifi selection, but even though I write the same password I have on my router. It wont connect. I have tried this with my phone, pc and laptop. Wont work to connect to it at all.
The model is: (N300) WN3000RPv3

That really helped me. Thanked you very much, just have to find a spot and see if the signal is strong enough. Thank you again.
I have one more question. My router have two different types of connections, one with 2,4Hz and one with 5Hz. The _EXT one is on the 2,4Hz, how do I make the 5Hz extended?
You need a dual band extender. A N300 is a single band extender.
