WN2000RPTv2 Connecting To Wireless Network But No Internet

try using google DNS on PC side and see if that takes to anywhere

also ping both router's IP and google DNS from the pc behind the extender

Hi@all,

I got my WN2000RPTv2 today and have The Same Problem as mentioned in this post.

Set it up according to the manual over WPS. Wifi Connection between Router (WNDR3800) and extender is working fine according admin webpage but I cant get a connection to the internet. Changed DNS to Google DNS on my Wifi Device (iPad) - same situation. Any idea?

Did you place the extender betweent a-b point here the b point where. Wifi was was weakest when extender was not used?

I'm having the same problem. The extender is connected to the router but has no internet access. When I go into the genie program I can't login, but when the extender first came up and the mywifiext page came up i was able to login into it with the admin/password. The only thing I've come up with is the IPV4 can't or doesn't have permission to obtain and IP address and I have no clue how to change this. I've spent the last 3 hours working on this and getting ready to call it quits.

I suggest you try to reset the WN2000RPTv2 and run the setup using the setup wizard. When you get to the wizard, use the manually input SSID. Make sure you enter the exact settings you have from the main wireless router.

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.

Hi guys.

We just bought the extender for a classroom at work to get better connection there from our wifi network.

I have the same extender at home, but with old firmware and i have NEVER had any problem there.

When we bought it today (new firmware) we have alot of problems. We are using the wizard to set connection up.
Selecting the SSID to connect to, writing the WEP passphrase to get it going. pushing next, next and then connection done.
Now we are connected to the router.

But, we dont get a IP-adress. When we conencted trough a phone with WPA2 we got connection and IP-adress and could surf the internet.

But when we are trying to connect to the router with WEP, we dont get a connection or IP-adress.

Anyone here knows how to get this working? We have been trying for 6 hours now, but still cant get any further.



Sorry for my english.

I recently moved and switched providers and am now on fios. I used the extender with no issues in my last home. I went through the setup again and it seemed to work, but even though the new network is showing up with a full signal it will not connect. I had changed the name, so it is not my current wifi name w EXT. I assume that is why NETGEAR_EXT is not showing up. I cannot sign onto mywifiext.net to adjust. I've reset the extender twice, but nothing is working. any help would be welcome

suggest to adjust the wireless on FIO device and see how it plays

I have just got a WN2000RPTv2 and I am trying to set it up. Following the instructions everything seems to run fine until I get to 5-Review Settings. At this point I see the correct settings (new SSID name, security type, passphrase) but when I check the box for "My wireless devices are connected ..." and click continue, I just get a "Serve not found" error. When I go to the wireless setup I can see the new (extender) network SSID name and connect to it, but when it connects it has the status "limited or no connectivity".

I have reset the WN200RPTv2 several times and tried configuring it with a cable, but each time I get stuck at the same point. Can anyone help?

Thanks.
