WN3000RP install challenges
Trying to install extended to c3000 Netgear router. Can’t get it to work. I can connect client to extender no problem. I can connect extender to router no problem. Just can’t do both at the same time....
Are you wanting to set it up in AP mode or extender mode?
Have you tried setting it up without using WPS?
Yes i have tried setting it up without wps and i am using it as an extender vs as an access point.
Does it work over ethernet after you complete the setup? Or does that fail also?
Is this a new purchase?
- Not sure i understand your question. I was never able to get the extender work as an extender. If i connected the client side i couldn’t get to the router. If i connected the router side i couldn’t get to the client. Therefore i don’t understand your question about connecting to the Ethernet.
When you set up the WN3000RP as an extender, you can connect devices to it using either the extender WiFi network or by connecting them to the ethernet port of the extender. In both cases, the connection is relayed to the router using the WN3000RP radio.
You are saying that you cannot connect to the extender WiFi when the WN3000RP is connected to the router network. I'm asking if you can connect to the extender via ethernet (and reach the internet) when the extender is in that state. This could help isolate the problem.
I am also wondering if you mean that you can connect to the extender wifi, but can't reach the internet. Or if you mean that you cannot join the extender wifi network.
