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.
Addenda - Now when I put in the 192.168.1.250 address in my browser, it takes me to the Netgear login page as I described above but I'm not sure what password to use with my email address. For that matter, do I need to log back into this site? I'm just concerned if I should run into issues in the future with this extender, will I need to know how to log into the 192.168.1.250 page? Thanks in advance for your responses.
Hi jonl201,
Since you upgraded firmware, you got a new interface where login screen will looks different. Try admin and password as credentials where it should work. Else, look for password help down below if you already created account. Please note that the credentials that you use for community is not same for extender untill you set it up that way now.
Thanks, it is a new looking interface. It did not have any help buttons for "Forget Username" or Forget Password, just Username and Password entries. I tried the default admin and password but it was looking for an email address. And when I tried my email address and password it didn't work so I'm not sure what it is looking for. I sent a note to register the Extender so we'll see what Netgear sends back to me in response. Thanks for the help. Hopefully I won't need to login again to the Netgear site for any issues with this Extender.
