WN3000RPv3 Set up but not connecting to the internet

I have set up my extender a few times now (restored it to the factory settings) and have tried both ways of setting up but it won't connect to the internet.
All of the lights on the extender are green and the wifi signal on both my iphone and computer show that it has full signal and
the set up genie on mywifiext.net also tells me everything is connected and working.
If someone could help that would be great! I'm not a technical whizz either sorry!
  • So I had someone try the IP address thing that you suggested and this still didn't work. He ended up turning off the router and on again and guess what? It works perfectly now!
    Thank you for your help though :)

    Have you added the Ip address of the extender to the allow list in your routers settings might be the router blocking it.

  • I am having the same problem. What is the IP address and how do I add it to the routers setting? The router is from our internet provider.
