wifi extender not visible on windows 10

Question

Can anyone advise, my new wifi extender is not being detected on my windows 10 machine, i have successfully connected on my linux and android devices but it is not showing up on my windows 10 device

Are you seeing other wifi networks on the Windows 10 system?

Kevelstone · Answer

yes all other networks are still visible, not sure if there is anything that needs enabling on the network adapter

StephenB · Answer

If the PC is within range of the WiFi then it should be seeing the network.&nbsp; Are you using the normal Windows facilities to connect?

Kevelstone · Answer

yes i am using the standard windows connection, i can connect it to the same router that is feeding the extender but not the externders signal itself&nbsp;

If you had a dual-band extender and were using FastLane, I'd have suggested making sure that your extender's client-facing network was 2.4G (guessing that the PC didn't support 5G).&nbsp; But the EX2700 is single band.

It sounds like a windows issue, since the other devices are seeing it.&nbsp; You could try a Windows WiFi Analyzer tool, and see if that finds it.&nbsp; If it does, you can try manually entering the network name and passphrase.
