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....
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.
Ah. I get your question. I never tried connecting devices via Ethernet
What i mean about connecting to the extenderis connecting to the extender WiFi. The green light is on the client side. I can see the extender through the il address and admin software i just can’t get to the router and internet.

Ok. So you are joining the client wifi network.
Have you tried going to www.mywifiext.net from there? That should show you the status of the router connection (and you should be able to reconnect to the router network).
Are you using a different network name for the extender network?
- I tried going to the wifiext route with no success. Haven’t connected to the extender WiFi when i go to connect to the router via the wifiext genie i see the router SSID, i See the extender_ext SSID but when i hit continue to connect to both i get the get connect to your network error message which then takes me back to the Netgear login page. It looks like some setting is preventing the connection it really aren’t that many settings to adjust.

Normally you connect to the extender wifi right after you reset the extender, and then go to www.mywifiext.net in your browser to complete the setup. Are you doing something different?
