Setting up a WN3000RP V1H2 Wifi range extender to be utilized connected to an ethernet cable

Question

I have a few years old WiFi range extender model&nbsp;WN3000RP V1H2.&nbsp; I am needing now to extend the range farther than the source wifi reliably reaches.&nbsp; I happen to also&nbsp; have a desktop PC (without wife broadcast capability) connected with RJ45 ethernet cable to the home's main modem router, model C3000.&nbsp; If I cable connect the range extender to the port hub near the PC, is there a way to configure the range extender to boradcast wifi for other wireless devices nearby?&nbsp; (I've searched and read a few posts here, but they were not for this exact model number and the comments and instructions were not specific enough for me...)&nbsp; Thanks,

I had similar issue -&nbsp; have copies of the pdfs for WN3000RP V1H2 (stuff as at October 2014 !!) - I've tried adding a copy this reply - give me your e-mail and I'll send the others.

Fosforus,Thanks for the reply with the orignal product pdfs.&nbsp; It looks like the product still won't do what I was hoping: to extend the reach of my wifi by having an ethernet cable allow me to locate the extender farther away from the router than its wifi signal can go.&nbsp; I think I will have to buy some of those units that send the wifi through the house AC wiring to remote&nbsp; transmitters.&nbsp;Thanks,Ken&nbsp;
