WN3000RP v1 compatible with Windows 10

Question

Hi&nbsp;Can someone confirm whether&nbsp;the WN3000RP v1 Wifi extender is compatabile with Windows 10.&nbsp;I have a number of other devices running Windows 7, 8 and Andriod which have no problems connecting to the Extender and gaining access to the internet. But my new Windows 10 laptop will connect to the WN3000RP v1 but indicates there is no internet connection.&nbsp;The firmware version on the extender is 1.0.2.64_1.1.86&nbsp;Thanks in advance.&nbsp;Stuart&nbsp;

Hello StuartBarrett

&nbsp;

yes it should be compatible with windows 10 its just putting out a wifi signal like any router have you made sure your wireless drivers are up to date on the windows 10 machine?

Hi&nbsp;Thanks for the reply.&nbsp;My new laptop is a Dell XPS 15 (9550) running Window 10 Pro.&nbsp;Wireless card = Dell Wireless 1830 802.11acDriver version = 1.555.0.0, which seems to be the latest version.&nbsp;I CAN connect directly to my Hub without a problem but when I try to connect via&nbsp;the Extender it shows 'Connected, No internet' against the Extender in the WiFi list. Which logically&nbsp;suggests it can connect to the extender but then cannot gain access to the internet via the Hub the extender is&nbsp;linked to. Obviously Windows 10 is doing something&nbsp;which Windows 7, 8 and Andriod don't do&nbsp;as they all connect without a problem.&nbsp;I have&nbsp;tried disabling the FireWall and AntiVirus software&nbsp;but this did not make any difference.&nbsp;A bit frustrating!&nbsp;Stuart&nbsp;&nbsp;

Try to tell the Laptop to forget the hubs network and the extender network and try to connect again wondering if its sometype of ip conflict that is happening.

Hi Darrren&nbsp;Thanks for your help so far.&nbsp;Tried that but no luck. Below are the Properties when conected to the Extender and directly to the hub:&nbsp;Extender Connection Properties:&nbsp;SSID:&nbsp;BTHub4-SZ9S_EXTProtocol:&nbsp;802.11nSecurity type:&nbsp;WPA2-PersonalIPv6 DNS Servers:&nbsp;fec0:0:0:ffff::1%1&nbsp;fec0:0:0:ffff::2%1&nbsp;fec0:0:0:ffff::3%1Manufacturer:&nbsp;BroadcomDescription:&nbsp;Dell Wireless 1830 802.11acDriver version:&nbsp;1.555.0.0Physical address:&nbsp;‎48-E2-44-F5-5F-5B&nbsp;Hub Connection Properties:&nbsp;SSID:&nbsp;BTHub4-SZ9SProtocol:&nbsp;802.11gSecurity type:&nbsp;WPA2-PersonalIPv4 address:&nbsp;192.168.1.125IPv4 DNS Servers:&nbsp;192.168.1.254Manufacturer:&nbsp;BroadcomDescription:&nbsp;Dell Wireless 1830 802.11acDriver version:&nbsp;1.555.0.0Physical address:&nbsp;‎48-E2-44-F5-5F-5B&nbsp;Looks like it is trying to connect to the Extender using IPv6, could this be the problem? If so, how do I force Windows to connect to the Extender&nbsp;using IPv4 ?&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;Stuart
