Re: Cant set up wifi extender Ex2700
There's a video on the support page for the ex2700 that walks you through using the assistant and not wps. I think its the 2nd video in the series on the support site. Its does a great job of walking you through this. Have you viewed this?

Re: Cant set up wifi extender Ex2700
I guess I'm a bit confused.
Not a single extender has internet until you connect to it and go through the full setup process. it doesn't matter which extender or manufacturer you go with.
Why do you think it should have internet if it isn't setup yet?
Where in the process is is failing? maybe a better description of whats going on exactly will help. either describe where its failing or even better take a video of the process.
What router are you connecting to?
Are you trying to setup in the same room? After you get it setup, you can move the extender.

Re: Cant set up wifi extender Ex2700
Still needing clarification.
1. When you power up the extender, does the default netgear SSID show?
2. Are you able to connect to this?
If you are, you WILL NOT have internet until you go through the setup process on the extender.
You stated at one point that you hardwired your computer into the extender. This is the best option for setup as it tends to go the fastest. Make sure you don't have the extender hardwired into the router as this extender doesn't support access point mode.
If you're able to connect but can't access the extender, a couple questions.
1. What address exactly are you connecting to? it should be www.mywifiext.net
If it doesn't work, try a different computer browser or different computer. Many times a browser issue or computer issue can cause issues.
You can also try clearing the browser cache.
If you connect and it brings you to a login page, its probably been setup before. In this case, factory reset the extender. Push and hold reset for 7-10 seconds while powered up. The lights should flash.
If you try these and it doesn't work, take a video of the process so we can see where its failing. Most times its something simple that we are just missing in the process.
