WN3000RPv3 when configured, grants me no internet access

Question

With my wifi extender, I reset the it to its factory default twice and upon configuration, it still does not give me internet access when configure (all lights would be on and green)

Update #1: after messing around with it a little bit more, and looking through the forums, i say this:

1. It does connect to the internet when a cord is directly connected between the extender and the router, but I get nothing upon disconnecting it when trying to plug it (out of range from the cord)

2. A moderator said, about another product, it's a two part equation (router to extender and extender to device), so I think my trouble is the first part

Hello John WIck Jr

&nbsp;

Have you tried both methods to connect it to the router WPS and manual setup? Are you using WPA2 security on the router?

Yes sir, I have tried both methods. The security is WPA.&nbsp;I would appreciate it if you could walk me through a set up, so that I could find out if there was something that i did that was wrong.

Hi. I'm having exactly the same problem! I'm not really technically savvy so any help would be great! Thanks

I checked out and tried the steps again according the to the page. 1 thing to note: the smart genie set up tool has a different look/interface from the "smart genie" used when configuring the extender.&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon going set by step, upon completion I still have the same dilemna: All the lights are green suggesting a great connection from router to extender and from extender to device, but the extender still doesnt grant me internet access.&nbsp;
