WN3000RP Forum

My cell phone company is Republic Wireless. Their service is 2 fold. When you are in a WiFi area the calls and data are made through WiFi and if not the service uses the Sprint Network.

I use WiFi in my home and was having signal strength problems for the call portion so I bought a NETGEAR WN3000RPv2 to improve my signal strength throughout my house. Since I installed the range extender I have no problems with data but I do have problems with calls over WiFi. The phone won't stay connected to the range extender for calls but it does for data.

Any suggestions?

  • It could be because of inteference. Try using your phone not within the are of the extender.
