No internet connection to WN3000P
Bought a WN3000RP this morning to extend the range of my reliable FWG114P.
All seemed to set-up correctly but when finished, the new ******_EXT connection fails to get internet connectivity.
The FWG114P doesn't seem to see the Extender even though the Extender picks the WiFi fine. :confused:
Kept moving the WN3000RP closer and closer to the router with no success even with all green lights every time.

- jmizoguchiVirtuosoif wifi do connect to the extender but on net traffic and assuming you have IP from the FWG then try using public dns on wifi device side and see
- Spock1AspirantFirst, Check in your router if you are able to receive Internet radio type 802.11n . After connecting the product to my router I still could not connect to Internet. I have a WRT610n Linksys router.On the router: I had to change the Network mode to "Mixed" to make it work. The reason is that the WN3000RP works on an Internet radio type 802.11n and if you have your router programmed for 802.11g like me, it would never work.
- jmizoguchiVirtuosoFWG is 54Mbps router and not N router
- djmcAspirantSo you are saying, it will never work. Where do I shove this WN3000P?
- jmizoguchiVirtuosoPossible.... Hard to work with legacy routers with newer devices

I was using a Linksys WRT320N but it stopped working about a year ago.
Reinstalled the Netgear FWG114P because it still works well but is only G [& B].
My thought was that newer N devices would still support legacy G products; guess I was wrong.
To anyone:
Any suggestions as to what router I should be using? - jmizoguchiVirtuosojust buy new N router of your choice that newer model.
- RobemanAspirantI'm having a similar problem with my WN3000P connected to a brand new Technicolor TG789vn modem router(http://www.technicolor.com/en/hi/digital-home/mediaaccess/dsl/service-gateways/vdsl/technicolor-tg789vn)
At first install I had everything running perfect in 5 minutes, next time I started my pc it connected to the WN3000P network but there are no internet connection.
No matter what I did I could'nt get a internet connection throug the _EXT network, I had to reset the WN3000P and do the first install again to make it work.
This is repeating now every time my pc is switched off over night, internet connection is lost.
I can still connect to internet from the original network, so the problem is in the WN300P.
Another strange thing is when I log on to the WN3000P setup and check for uppdates, theres an error for no internet connection detected even when I am connected from the pc. - jmizoguchiVirtuosoif pc has an issue with extender then try static IP with DNS using ISP DSN IP on PC SIDE

I'm currently away on a two weeks business trip, but I will try this when I'm back home.
