WN2000RPTv2 Connecting To Wireless Network But No Internet
I recently purchased a WN2000RPTv2 to extend the wireless in my house. I've ran through the setup multiple times with multiple browsers (IE, Firefox, and Safari). Each time it properly detects my home...
I just thought I would state my frustrating experience: I spent hours trying to get my Netgear extender to connect to the internet via the wireless router. I had to manually configure to get a connection and then there would be no internet availability. Finally after trying and retrying I found out that my son had hidden the wireless router. So after unhiding it, it took only 5-10 minutes to connect it to the wireless router and achieve internet connection. I did this to have wireless connection for my smart tv on the other end of the house.
One the additional frustrations was a call to my ISP who said on checking his support manual that their Cisco DPC 3825 wireless router cannot connect to my Netgear extender (WN2000RPT). But obviously it can as I have now connected it and am able to watch youtube videos on my smart TV.
