WN3000RPv3 - Configuration as Access Point Fails
WN3000RPv3 is connected to Internet Router via Ethernet.
Tried connecting PC to NETGEAR_EXT wireless but couldn't even find it among available networks until I disconnected from hardwired Internet ...
Been a long time since I used that extender, but my recollection is that you can click through that registration page (rather than filling it in).
Perhaps you've already looked, - but just in case, I suggest checking that the ethernet LED is lit (it might be easier to see that on the router LAN port than the extender).
Well, I ended up sending them back. Took way too long to get responses, and those were unsatisfactory.
Bought a relatively low-powered ASUS router and configured it in access point mode in about 30 seconds. Now have excellent wifi in my previously underserved part of the house for about half the cost of the two extenders.
Thanks anyway folks. You can close this issue.
