Wireless connectivity issues..please help?

Hey I'm new to the forum and not quite sure if I'm in the correct place. My wireless connection as of late has been spotty, getting a message primary dns server not responding. It seems I have fixed the issue however I cannot get all my wireless devices connected to the internet. At one point they all were. I have a laptop, 2 smart tv's my cell phone, an XBox 360 and PS3 that should be connected wirelessly. I also recently purchased a Harmony Smart Remote which also connects wirelessly and allows me to use my phone to control my tv. Ever since the Smart Remote I've had connection issues. As of this moment, my laptop, cell phone and samsung tv are connected without issue. My xbox needs to be told to connect, and my panasonic viera tv cannot get an IP address. I have little experience other than unplugging and plugging things in. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I'm new here also and having a connectivity issue as well. I have a Netgear N600 model WNDR3400v2. I have no issues with this unit except the signal is not strong enough in my son's room 2 floors up.

    I just bought a used Universal Dual Band WiFi Range Extender model: WN2500RP from my son's friend. He moved and is now directly connected. So I know this unit worked last month at his home.

    I hit the reset key on the bottom of the unit and have a green power button. I placed the unit on the desk next to the router to help keep any other wireless interference to a minimum. I have my laptop with me in the room to facilitate the setup.

    Using setup Option 1: I pushed the WPS button on the back of the unit and then pushed the big blue WPS button on the router. The router has both 2.4ghz & 5ghz lights lite up on front. The green WPS button flashes on the extender for a while then goes blank. I am unable to connect to the www.mywifiext.net page, it "does not exist

    I looked through the forums for help and couldn't either find or understand the solutions. Any help you can give would be appreciated.
