WN2000RPT Internet Connection Issues

Hi, I hope someone can help me out with this.

I've set up the extender via web (wireless) without a problem and it says _EXT is connected to the internet, however web pages are unavailable when I go on my browsers (Chrome & IE)

I'm thinking it may be the internet option settings but I'm not sure what to do, Help Please!

    What color is the LINK rate light. If not green move it closer to router.

    Hopefully when I continue my chat with them later this evening I will be connected and I will post how they helped me - fingers crossed.

    I originally tried the quick set up but had no luck. The repeater said it was connected to the router but the repeater would not accept the security key/password when I tried to connect other devices to it. On to Option 2 (manually). Support told me I was not doing the factory reset correctly. You need to hold the reset button in for a 30 count and then unplug it for another 30 seconds. Once I did that and plugged it back in, I was able to connect to the repeater with my iphone and mywifiext came right up. Followed the setup steps and I was done. Works great! Took 10 minutes.
