WiFi Extender Won’t Connect to Some Apps/Sites
My Network: AX3600 Insight Managed Router (Firmware version 10.2.0.16), AX1800 Mesh Extender (Firmware version 1.0.3.36) Issue: I recently got a new router and a range extender to help cover my w...
What modem/gateway is the router connected to?
Have you tried setting the extender with a static ip address?
My modem is a Nokia Beacon (Model G-2426G-B) provided by my ISP.
I tried setting the IP address to static (please let me know if there’s a specific static address that I should try), and the problem persists.
So that nokia is its own router as well. Do you have your insight managed router running in access point mode?
Or do you have the nokia in passthrough mode?
It could be the double nat added into using an extender causing issues.
Or does the extender work if setup with the nokia?
I was able to get the extender to work fully with the Nokia’s Wi-Fi. The ISP (I think) has some admin control on it, so I may need to contact them to do a mode change if that’s ultimately the fix. I had turned off the Nokia’s broadcasting, but it sounds like there’s another level I hadn’t considered.
I did have the insight router set to AP mode - should it have been something else given the Nokia’s configuration?
In any case, I have Wi-Fi throughout my house. Thank you, plemans!
