WN3000RP disconnects
Just picked up my wn3000rp and hooked it up to my d-link dir-855 main router. All my wireless clients can connect to the extended network without any problems but... after 10 minutes the connection...
I'm still having this problem 6 years later! If by chance you read this help would be appreciated. I'm trying to set up the MAC list mentioned above, and have added my phone and laptop to the list, but as a test have not added my ipad. Have clicked apply, exited from settings, yet can still access internet through Ipad, even though it is not on the approved MAC list?
Hi Shick31,
Which router are you using with the WN3000RP?
Hi Nhann,
Running it with an EE Brightbox.
Were you also able to follow these steps for the WN3000RP?

Disable the MAC filter on your router temporarily when installing your extender.
After you finish installing your extender, log in to the extender by visiting http://www.mywifiext.net.
Select the Attached device option on the left. It shows information about each computer attached to your extender.
Add all MAC addresses shown on the Virtual MAC address column into your router.
Note: The Attached Devices page might be different on your router."Set up Access Control"
Please also make sure you have updated to the latest firmware:

http://support.netgear.com/product/WN3000RPv2Sorry I'm not sure I follow. The MAC filter on my router has always been disabled. So I should now enable it on my router, and add only the virtual MAC address shown on the extender? What about devices using the router, but not to the extender? Do I need to do anything to the wireless access list on the extender?
