WN3000RP Won't Finish Wizard
I got the WN3000RP today. I came home, plugged it in, followed all the steps then hit a snag. The wizard gets through most of the steps. It created a new network, renamed it to my SSID_EXT and ma...
I spent more than 3 hours with the WN3000RP. Basically the same issue...the wizard didn't work with WPS, but manually found the network and finished, but it does not actually connect to the wireless afterwards. It always says to get closer, but in my case both the first and third lights are on. Also I tried it in countless spots near the router.
Trying to ping any website seems to work at first, though about 30% of packets are lost. But when I tracert I can see that the request only goes to the WN3000RP and then returns.
My router is a NETGEAR WNDR3300 with the newest firmware V1.0.45_1.0.45.
I also checked if there is any new firmware for WN3000RP, but I already got 1.0.0.12 pre-installed.
I also tried to set my LAN ip address to different values. 10.0.0.1, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1....all the same result. You'd think that this product at least works with NETGEAR routers.
I'm about to post a very negative review, so I hope I get any useful feedback before that, so I can change my opinion. At the moment I think it's the most useless crap I ever bought.
