WN 2000rpt problematic with drop signal and buggy firmware update

Hi Derrin M.
Thanks for the reply. I believe I have found an easier work around.
Problem:
1.RPT dropped the wifi connection to the router
2. Couldn't load the RPT GUI on new windows 10 notebook as newer version of IE could not load the RPT's HTML (for what ever reason it through and error)
3. Old Samsung S2 smartphone could connect to the RPT GUI but couldnt load the firmware file
Solution: Used an old Vista OS laptop with an old IE version. This was able to load up the RPT's HTM GUI.
Copied the unzipped firmware to the Vista laptop and updated the RPT firmware to .24.
Time will tell if this firmware version fixes the dropped connectivity issue.
Very disappointed with the quality of this products firmware.
Hi,
I want to upgrade the firmware in my WN2000RPT but don't know which firmware to download.
The Extender is marked "NETGEAR Universal WiFi Range Extender WN2000RPT" with no v1, v2 or v3.
The serial number is: 2AB1135G015E9.
How do I find out which version I have or is it a pre-v1 version ?
Can I see it in the software in any way?
Thank's for advise.
