Hi colinb100,
When you reset and attempt to reconfigure it, does it give you the page for setup? If your device cannot connect to it wireless, try to connect wired and check if that helps.
Thanks for your reply. I do not get to a configuration page whether I use wifi or fixed ethernet cable. I get a default page which tells you what to do depending on OS. So for me its windows. I am using a laptop, which worked fine doing the same thing on another extender elsewhere in the house.
Hi colinb100,
Did you tried assigning static IP and checked if you can access it? Let me know if you need assistance in setting up static IP.
Hi. Thanks for the suggestion. Just to make things more complicated... looking at the device table it turns out that the device I have and the MAC address on the back of it are not the same. SO... I can now see that it has an IP address... though the device light does not come on... and despite repeated resets I cannot get to the devices configuration in order to change the settings on it. SO same problem though at least I now know it is talking to the Router. Any other ideas?
