Netgear Extender WN3000RP - problem trying to change it to new broadband router
I got a new broadband router, so wanted to link my Netgear Range Extender to it.
At this stage, I have tried so many things, not sure where I am at.
I have plugged the extender in, in the room with the router, and pressed the reset button - no wps on the router, so linked the extender to my laptop with an eternet cable - but when I put in the web address - all I get is "You are not connected to your extender's WiFi network." the same happens if I try the ip address 192.168.1.250
I seem to have been going around in circles for over an hour now and getting nowhere! Any help would be appreciated.
try this.
1. Factory reset the extender. Push and hold reset while plugged in for 7-15 seconds or until the lights change.
2. hardwire a pc into the extender.
3. then try the setup wizard from the manual
