WN2000RPTv2-WiFi Range Extender

I hope I am doing this right. I have very little experience with forums. How do I find out what channel my repeater is on? Does it have to be on a different channel from my WNR1000v2 router/Wireless N 150 Router? When I log onto www.routerlogin.net it will bring up the router info but not the extender info. What am I doing wrong?

  • I just installed one of the WN2000RPT with a N300 wireless router. To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing to access in the WN2000 since it merely reflects everything in the actual router.

    I found it was better to setup the 2000 using option 2 (the manual method), and if you are installing it with a Comcast modem, you have additional steps to do in order for it to work.

    Hope this helps. :)

    http://www.mywifiext.net is for extender. Login the extender and look


    Routerlogin.net is for router only.
  • This is my first time on these forums, and I couldn't find where to post a new thread. So here it goes. I manage 22 timeshare condo's that are spread out in a residential neighborhood. In order to obtain wireless internet for my guests, my internet services guy recommended Meraki OD2 repeaters to be installed on the exterior buildings and repeating the signal down the road. THEN he said we needed Intellinet 300 brand Access Points to get the signal inside our units. THEN I purchased 18 Netgear WiFI Range Extenders, Model # WN2000RPT to boost the signal inside the units, because without these the guests got limited WiFi access. (sigh).

    Since installation, we've had several connectivity and dropping signal problems. I am a tried and true Netgear fan, and truly believe the range extenders are NOT the problem. However, my Internet Services guy says that he believes it's the Netgears that are causing numerous issues. I can't seem to find an answer on Cisco's website (Meraki units) OR the Intellinet site. I am hoping that someone here can help me. I don't know if there is a communication breakdown between the 3 devices or if it's actually the netgears that are causing the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,

    PS: This is what my internet guy tells me: "It appears that the Netgear Range Extenders that are connecting to the Intellinet AP's which are plugged into the OD2's are still causing the OD2's to lose connection with the router.":confused:
  • Look at open-mesh.com. It also been called as Meraki killer.. lol

    I used and works great
  • Thanks for the reply. Do you mean the Netgears are called Meraki killers or the Open Mesh products? Please advise.

    Have a great day!
