    The four bars just show the signal level when associated to a wireless access point ie. the range extender SSID (like NETGEAR_EXT) seen from your computer/tablet/phone.

     

    Was the EX2700 ever configured to connect to your router wireless LAN? If not ... follow the QSG .. Connect your wireless device to th eNETGEAR_EXT network, make sure that your computer is set up to use DHCP (not set to static IP). Make sure that the Wireless Device to Extender light is solid green and you have a valid IP address. Finally, relaunch the browser and enter www.mywifiext.net or the extenders default IP http://192.168.1.250.

     

    Is the EX2700 in a good WiFi range to your router wireless LAN? 

     

    What are the EX2700 LED telling you - compare the EX2700 QSG FMI.
