WN3000RPV3 cant connect on my windows laptop
Hello, i've been try to connect the wifi extender to my laptop unfortuanally everytime i try it says "unable to connect" , so i tryed with my mac and it worked . I Really need this to work on my ...
I've got an older WN3000RPV3, purchased a few and love them. But I only use them on the devices that I either don't have WiFi cards on like my older PC... and I had to place one downstairs near another computer that we couldn't run a hardline too (also no wifi card).
They worked great on both my Windows 7 64-Bit PC and Laptops... but I hardwired them in. I plugged them in close to the machines, connected them directly to the main modem/router via WPS... and use a short patch cable. I honestly couldn't believe how stable and consistent these things were/are... I know they are meant for extending WiFi and should be able to spit up some WiFi for those hard to reach areas... but have you tried maybe just running a hardline from the WN3000RPV3 to your laptop just to see if it works? I know cables and wires are ugly... but whatever works heh.
