Did you set it up via wps? Yes and it seems to have set up ok as i get all white lights and all green on the extenders browser
If so, try the installation wizard, Not sure if its going to be any better.
What actual router did you connect to?
not all ISP supplied routers play well with extenders
What firmware is on the extender. V1.0.1.206

As i said it all appears to be set up properly but internet is a no go and it doesnt roam which was one of the benefits i wanted.

  wps can be coded differently by different manufacturers. the virgin hub 3 is one of those. Try the installation wizard and not wps.

    Ok i have done everything suggested and its simply not working well.
    
    Everything appears to be all good and i gat all indicators lighting as they should and when i log into the extender it says that all signals are green
    
    But and there is always a but. When i roam or try to get internet on my phone or i pad i gat nothing.
    
    If i turn off WiFi and reconnect boom it works and then it goes again the next time i try.
    
    Please help.
