WN2000RPTv2 networking issue
Hi All
hope you can help as i dont have much hair left to pull out.
I have my desk top connected to a Thomson Gateway Router via CAT5
I also have the WN2000RPTv2 as a wifi extender with 4 devices attached to it via CAT5
The extender devices all access the net no problem and i have good connection speeds through the extender.
I have a WDTV live media hub attached to the extender which browses the net just fine. However i cannot browse the WDTV live hub from my desk top as i cannot browse through the wifi network and locate the extender/
From my desktop i can browse my router and through the router homepage view the mac address and IP for all the devices including the extender.
I just cannot figure out how to get Win7 to browse the extender and attached devices and include them within my home network ?
If i am missing something very obvious please tell me as i just cant see it.
any advice ?

- I have very similar issues. All of my cabled connections to my main router do not work after installing this device. I hope there is a simple answer somewhere.
