Wifi range extender will not connect with any device. Although it is set up ok to my wifi.
I have set up the range extender up to the wifi router ok. But it will not connect with any client device. It is giving off a good strong signal, any ideas before i throw it away. Kev..

A bit more details can help.
1. You have the WN3000RPv2 extender?
2. what firmware is on it?
3. What router is it connecting to?
4. What method of setup did you use? wps or the installation assistant?
5. Waht actual error do you get? Does it see the wifi and not connect, does it connect and say "connected, no internet" , does it not see the wifi broadcasting at all? We need actual details of whats happening to help.

Try installing the wn3000rp using the installation assistant and not using WPS.
WPS can get coded different between manufacturers (ruins the point of wps) and that can cause connection issues.
