WNHD3004 not compatible with WNCE3001?

I want to connect two WNCE3001 to a WNHD3004 that acts as an Access Point.

The devices connect, but the light stays red independent of distance. Looking at the management pages on the WNCE3001, I can see that the Tx-speed is 300Mbit/s, but the Rx-speed is steady on 6Mbit/s. :(

Are the two devices not compatible with each other?
(Also, I can choose from a lot more frequenses on the WNHD3004 than I can on the WNCE3001.) I live in Sweden, Europe by the way...

Any advice is appreciated.

  • Also when I connect to any of my routers (WNR3500 or WNDR3700), the light on the WNCE3001 comes up green as it should and both Tx- and Rx-speed is about 270-300Mbit/s

    use 2.4Ghz side to connect if you are using 5Ghz.


    WNHD3004 has only 5GHz.

    And as I said, when connecting to my WNDR3700 over 5GHz it works fine.
