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 seem to be having very similar problems to others. I purchased a WN20000RPTv2 to try to solve connectivity issues that I was having with my WGR614v7 wireless router. The WGR614v7 is working fine although wireless devices even close by seem to have difficulty connecting to it.
Despite the set up of the WN20000RPTv2 being a bit hit and miss, it eventually sparked into life and for a while we finally had good wireless internet access around the house. Then after about a week, suddenly all the wireless devices started asking for a username and password. Even my PCs that were hardwired via Ethernet to the WGR614v7 seemed to divert to the WN20000RPTv2 and ask for credentials. The only way round this was to completely unplug the WN20000RPTv2, after which I was fine but back to square one.
I then started over from scratch setting up the WN20000RPTv2. The WGR614v7 is still working fine and connects to the Internet and the WN20000RPTv2 finds the WGR614v7 no problem and connects up but will not connect to the internet and seems to loop round forcing me to run through setup again. I can even connect to the WN20000RPTv2 via http://192.168.1.250 from my wired PC (i.e. via the WGR614v7)
There seems to be no indication of why it won't connect to the Internet. If anyone can explain what I'm doing wrong, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
