Set up - N300 WiFi Range Extender
Hi guys, apologies if I am missing something key or obvious.
First of all, I have set this up before and it worked well, however now, for some reason the Ethernet cable does not work and I cannot connect via any device to the extender.
I have attempted to reset, and to set up via WPS and to do it online too however whenever I try set up online the website tells me I am not connected to the Extender’s WiFi, even though I am?
I am having NO luck, and I am clueless as to why it is no longer working, any help would be very helpful! :)
Many thanks,
Samuel

When its plugged in, what are the lights doing?
Are you able to access it when you hardwire a pc to it?
- SamuelbrodyAspirantSo when it’s plugged in all the lights are on, all green, as expected if it was working!
I haven’t tried using a PC as of yet, as the only device I own is a work laptop, would you recommend that? With the Ethernet cable plugged in to my PS4, it still wasn’t working!- plemansGuru - Experienced User
It might need to be re-installed using the manual method.
It tends to go better connecting to it via ethernet for setup. Your work laptop would work fine
