WN3000RP Extender not working with NBN

Hi Antinode,

I appreciate the response and sorry for poor information.  Here is a little more information.  It is a WN3000RP V1H2 model, old I know.  I just did not want to buy a new one if I did not need to.  The WiFi router (NBN) that I am connecting to is a NetComm CloudMesh Gateway Model NF18MESH.

The set up is in a house and you are right, I don't really need the extender in it but it has a separate cottage were the WiFi range is marginal and I thought, if I could use this, it would be great.  I have tried of course and I can see the Extender come up on my phone when it is plugged it but cannot connect to it.  I have tried a Factory Reset with the pin button on the side.

Kind regards,

Brian

   WN3000RP[v1], WN3000RPv2, or WN3000RPv3?  Look for "Model" on the
product label.

   Not a very detailed description of that equipment.

   About all that that says is that you're in Australia.

   I'd expect so, within the limits of its capabilities.  The WN3000RP
is an old, relatively slow ("n"), 2.4GHz-only gizmo.  Something newer
might be faster.  Whether you'd care, I couldn't say.

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get some.  Compare its specs with those of your
(unspecified) new router and/or some newer extender.

 

   Do you know that you'll still need an extender with your
(unspecified) new router?
