New to range extender set up
I reciently bought a wn2500rp v2 dual band repeater. I am trying to set it up to work with my Lynksys E4200 dual band wireless router. that router is connected to the router from Comcast. I have never set up one of these before. When I tried the first time I could connect to the extender but the extender wasn't connected to my wireless router. I want to reset the netgear and start from scratch. I did install the new firmware. My wireless router uses DHCP and uses WPA/WPA2 mixed mode security. the Linksys has WPS and gives me a pen number for that device.
What I need to know is how to plug in the Netgear to set it up. Does it have to be plugged in to the Linksys?

I tried to use the article steps but when I got to number 4 it didn't find my local wi-fi setup.

Do you had the SSID hidden on the main network? Also try to set up the extender beside the router then after you get a connection move it to where you want it.
