Hello John WIck Jr
Have you tried both methods to connect it to the router WPS and manual setup? Are you using WPA2 security on the router?
DarrenM
Yes sir, I have tried both methods. The security is WPA.
I would appreciate it if you could walk me through a set up, so that I could find out if there was something that i did that was wrong.
Hello John
This KB has all the setup methods.

I checked out and tried the steps again according the to the page. 1 thing to note: the smart genie set up tool has a different look/interface from the "smart genie" used when configuring the extender.
Upon going set by step, upon completion I still have the same dilemna: All the lights are green suggesting a great connection from router to extender and from extender to device, but the extender still doesnt grant me internet access.
Hi
I have a similar problem with my WIFI extender although only when I turn on Access Control on the router (it is a Netgear CG3000v2 as supplied by Optus Australia). I have added the MAC address for the extender to the Access Control list in the router. All other devices connect OK with Access Control turned on. Without Access Control, the extender works OK.
The extender has firmware version V1.0.2.24. The router has V2.08.07. I'm running Windows 10 Home.
Cheers
