Netgear WN2000RPTv3 doesn't seem to be transmitting any signal at all - Is it broken?
I just picked up a used WN2000RPTv3 WiFi range extender but I think it might be broken. It powers up fine, but when I try to configure it, none of my PCs see it transmitting the NETGEAR_EXT signal. ...
Hi jonl201,
Did you tried 192.168.1.250? If you still cannot access it, please check and ensure there is no static IP assigned on the LAN of PC to which it is wired.

Thanks jvasanth1984 (Virtuoso),
I thought I had tried that isp, but it worked this time so maybe not. I was able to get into NetGear Genius (?) setup and it found my Extender. I then connected it to my WiFi network and was able to update the firmware as well so it looks like everything is working.
The only thing I'm not sure of now is that after it updated the firmware, it dumped me back to a Netgear Login where it's looking for a Username (an email address) and a Password.
I tried using my email address with the password I set up for this Netgear Community site, but that didn't work. It seemed to accept my email address but I have no idea what password would be associated with this for the Netgear site. Any clues or suggestions?
