Trying to install N300 EX2700 range extender, but the device link LED never lights, not connecting with modem. I even have it hooked up with ethernet cables right now, and it still won't connect. Any suggestions?

No, it didn't. But a couple days later, a wi-fi network "Netgear_ext" showed up in my listings. I started messing with it, then I was able to access the activation webpage. I'm still not sure how I did it, but eventually it worked, and it's now set up and solved my lack of signal strength on the TV furthest from the router.

Re: N300 EX2700 won't connect with modem
That's what I'm trying to do. But I can't get it to recognize my wi-fi router to connect into the network. The power light comes on but the device link LED never lights up. They won't link. So I tried connecting them with a cable, just till it "met" the network, but that didn't work either. I think my router must have some setting that's preventing it (Linksys) but I don't know how/where to access the settings or which one might need to be changed.

I suggest you use a paperclip and perform a factory reset (push the button for at least seven seconds). Then follow the instructions in the manual to set it up.

On the router or the Netgear signal extender? (Sorry for being such a dolt...I have someone who usually does this stuff for me, but he's unavailable.)

Hello LoriWhitwam
Did the factory reset fix the issue?
