Cannot connect to Network Extension

Hi. Just upgraded my modem/router from TP-LINK TD-W8950ND to TD-W8960N and network adaptor from BELKIN to DIGITECH wireless-N adaptor. Both the wired PC and wireless PC work fine off the modem router, but when I set up an _EXT to the network via a Netgear WN3000RP WiFi range extender, the wireless PC does not connect (and neither does my son’s smartphone or tablet). It either says to move the extender closer to the router OR my smartphone show a NETGEAR 404 screen. I would appreciate any suggestions you may care to make. Thanks. :confused:

Ola Alfam,

My suggestion would be to install the extender in the same room where your router is currently located. Once you have successfully installed it (all devices can access the internet), you can now move it to the room or part of your house where you want it to be.
