Netgear universal extender WN2000rpt v2 won't connect to my Nighthawk d7800

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I have a Nighthawk D7800 - AC2600 and a WN2000rptv2 extender.&nbsp;No matter what I try, I cannot get the two to connect via the wps. I've tried using the wps button as well as the pin code in the router settings.&nbsp;How can I get the wifi connection sorted?

have you tried setup using the installation wizard and not wps?&nbsp;you can look here for instructions on the installation guidehttps://www.netgear.com/support/product/WN2000RPTv2.aspx

WN2000rpt v2 isn't on the list as compatible with windows 10, is this true?&nbsp;

plemans · Answer

The extender isn't connecting to windows 10. its connecting to the router and rebroadcasting it.

You can set it up via the browser setup method and it should still work.

Plus when that extender was manufactured (2012), windows 10 wasn't released. :) that's why there wouldn't be any compatibility listed.

Yeh the top light never comes on my extender, it works if I connect an ethernet from the router to the extender then ethernet from extender to pc for example..&nbsp;But I need it to work with wifi..

so when you're going through setup, where is it failing?&nbsp;Have you factory reset the extender and started back at the beginning?
