WN3000RP v1 compatible with Windows 10
Hi Can someone confirm whether the WN3000RP v1 Wifi extender is compatabile with Windows 10. I have a number of other devices running Windows 7, 8 and Andriod which have no problems connectin...
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
My new laptop is a Dell XPS 15 (9550) running Window 10 Pro.
Wireless card = Dell Wireless 1830 802.11ac
Driver version = 1.555.0.0, which seems to be the latest version.
I CAN connect directly to my Hub without a problem but when I try to connect via the Extender it shows 'Connected, No internet' against the Extender in the WiFi list. Which logically suggests it can connect to the extender but then cannot gain access to the internet via the Hub the extender is linked to. Obviously Windows 10 is doing something which Windows 7, 8 and Andriod don't do as they all connect without a problem.
I have tried disabling the FireWall and AntiVirus software but this did not make any difference.
A bit frustrating!

Hello StuartBarrett
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
Thanks for your help so far.
Tried that but no luck. Below are the Properties when conected to the Extender and directly to the hub:

Thanks

Hello StuartBarrett
I found this microsoft article on how to stop it from using IPV6

Hi Darren
Unfortunately disabling IPv6 has not resolved the problem.
Any other ideas, short of trying another Extender ?
Thanks
