I cannot seem to get this to work. My devices are still connected to this extender so what is the problem? I tried this several times already and all lights on the extender are "green". Please advise why this does not seem to be working? Another strange thing is when I logged again into the extender it shows this as a current "status":
- Hardware Version: WN3000RPv3
- Firmware Version: V1.0.2.70 <---0
Connection to Existing Network (2.4GHz) |

so what is the deal and is this really updated or not and why the above error message?
Thank you.
