WN3000RP not issued IP by router
This thing is driving me nuts and I am now an expert at setting it up from scratch as I have done numerous factory resets. OK the router is an Australian Engin Onehub which is the same as an Englis...
Thanks jmizoguchi it worked a treat :) Perhaps Netgear should warn people about not using WEP.
From my experience there are now two tips I want to pass on.
1) Don't use WEP under any circumstances
2) Plug a Computer into the WN300RP via ethernet (CAT5) cable and do the setups.
The second tip is because I ended up with the other problem of once the extender found the router the laptop stopped communicating with the extender via WLAN :( It is far easier to solve one problem at a time. Once I knew the extender talked to the router I knew I could get the laptop to talk to the extender again. Even all my Apple iDevices are more than happy with the WN300RP as well. So one big happy family :cool:
Thanks again.
