Wn2000rpt
Hi. I wanted to say is that my WN2000RPT (wifi extender) now work as expected after changing channel to 10, on my primary router. Both were set to channel 6 and was probably interfering each other....
Hi runandwrite,
Please login to your router settings, then under Wireless Settings, you have the option to change your Wireless Network Channel.
See the following page for further instructions:

Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any such option on the wireless settings page for the WN2000RPTv3. The only options listed are Name (SSID), Region, Security Options (None/WEP/WPA-PSK/etc.) and PassPhrase. According to the page to which you linked, however, since the WN2000RPTv3 is an extender, it would need to be on the same channel as the supplying router. I assume it automatically changes channels if I change the channel of the original router.
Yes, as mentioned
