    Hello tlynch833 - If other devices are able to connect to the extender except your windows laptop, you may need to update your WiFi adapter driver on your windows laptop.

      Hi Christian,

      Thanks for your comments. My driver is from Realtek. According to their website I have their latest driver. Should I be looking for another driver vendor?

        Hi tlynch833 - May you check and see if your laptop is able to connect to the main network and access the internet.
