EX6100 EXTENDER

Hi,

 

I just recently purchased the EX6100 wifi extender and have been trying to get to work properly for a while but unable to get anywhere with it..

 

The first time around, I connect it with my Virgin router no problems, then moved to another plug in a diferent floor and connected to my iMac. The extender panel showed green lights on both router connection and device connection so I assume that's the best connection! Although on my Mac it shows full reception of the extender I'm unable to get any internet at all.

 

Is there someone who can help?

 

Many thanks,

Leandro

    Connect to the extender either by joining it's Wi-Fi connection or connecting via Ethernet and point your browser at http://www.mywifiext.net. Then, confirm that the extender has successively connected to the router. Page 44 of the manual has more information about troubleshooting the extender's connection to the router.
