The DNS server isn't responding
I have a WN2000RPTv3, I have ran the through the setup process to set up my extender. It connects to the network, and I can connect to the extender, but I have no internet access. When I trouble shoot...
Try to install the extender closer to the main router. Distance could be an issue. It shows that after the configuration the extender will no longer connects to the main router but the computer is connected to the extender.
Check the IP address of your computer. If the Default gateway is still 192.168.1.250 it means the extender cannot grab IP from the main router.
If above symptoms are true then follow the steps bellow.
1. Access mywifiext.net
2.Click on setup then IP setup
3.Set the following IP addresses:
IP:192.168.1.250(if the router's IP is 192.168.1.1)
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
DG:192.168.1.1(if the router's IP is 192.168.1.1)
DNS:192.168.1.1(if the router's IP is 192.168.1.1)
Hope above steps can help you.
