NETGEAR WN3000RP-100UKS won't connect

Brought this after reading how easy it was to install, basically plug in, press button on extender than press large button on Super Hub(Netgear CG3101D) until it stopped flashing then it SHOULD connect, no amount of trying even with extender 6" away from the hub would it connect - NO

Anybody know why it won't connect?

The hub is upstairs wired to my desk top pc which doesn't have wireless option so I can't seek the extender and add it manually.

Thanks in advance,

try using encryption (WPA, WPA2 ) instead of WPS

Security is set to WAP2-PSK :confused:

Would I be able to set up a guest network with WEP on the super hub?

This setup is WPS and you are not using WPA2

Did you scan your network and put passphrase for WPA2?

WPS uses numbers to connect. Two different way to setup

Hello Timbannister

 

What is the issue you are having? Can you see the network but it fails to connect or can you not see the wifi network at all? Have you tried to change the security type to WPA2?
