WN2000RPT connects to Network, but not Internet
Hello, After 5+ hours of trial-and-error, I have not been able to successfully set up the WN2000RPT. All 3 lights are green, the Extender connects to my network just fine, and my laptop connects...
Im counting myself one of the many Netgear customers who wish they had never bothered buying this extender.
I have spent about 8 hours trying to just get the Installation programme to allow me to reach completion, by that I mean get to the final checkbox and reach complete status.
Either I get mid-way into the installation (when the "server times out") or I get to the last page (when / if it fully loads) at that stage it LOOKS as though Im all connected as the green lights are all lit and the laptop is reporting excellent signal strength on the extender link.
However when a webpage load is initiated all I ever had was the mywifi installation page over and over again.
Being now completely underwhelmed with it I have sent it back to where it come from (Amazon) and intend to forget all about the famous WN2000RPT.
What a waste of my life.
