N300 wireless range extender wont't connect
Hello, I recently purchased the N300 wireless extender (model EX2700) I can get the setup genie to work fine. But when I get to the last step where it asks me to connect my devices, i connect a lapto...
An extender works by using Wi-Fi for two purposes.
- To connect the extender to your Verizon router. Your extender must be programmed with the Verizon's Wi-Fi SSID and password.
- To connect devices to the extender. Your extender is programmed with its own Wi-Fi SSID and password that devices must use.
When you connected your laptop to the extender's Wi-Fi network, did you make sure to connect to the extender's SSID and did you enter the Wi-Fi password programmed in #2?
Yes, i connected to the extender, not the orig wifi. And once I entered the password I sucessfully connected the laptop. Then when I clicked to continue i get the error message. I seem to be following the directions correctly, just on the last step/confimation it says that it cannot connect to my wifi/router.
Did you configure the extender correctly to connect to your Verizon router?
