Connecting to a WN3000Rpv3
Hi I have just installed a Range Extender and am having trouble getting all my devices to connect.
first attempt my laptop running windows 10 connected but non of my android devices would.
I can't remember what i did next but basically I went back to the begining. I connected my android's first and that is good but now I can't connect the laptop. I have fiddled around on the netgear sight but as I don't have a great knowledge on some of the terminology I got lost.
Can someone tell me what I should do in laymans language
Thanks
John

Hello JTM145
Did you make the wifi name the exact same as your main routers wifi name if so you will need to rename one of them this could be causing the issue you are having. If that still does not work you may need to tell your laptop for forget the wifi network and try to connect to it again.

Ok that should be fine then but have you went into the wifi settings of the laptop and tried to tell it to forget the network and connect again?
