WN2500RP doesn't work after configuring

So I bought WN2500RP a day ago, it is just the best cheapest option. I had another one with the exact same problem that I'm about to describe, it's why I bought a new one.

 

First off I configured it with my Windows 10 desktop, after the applying settings part the repeater completly stopped responding, I also tried my laptop with wifi, I can see the ssid, but cannot connect, same goes with the desktop connect via lan, the lan is shown as connected, but no internet, and mywifiext.net isn't responding either.

 

I reset the repeater and tried to configure it on my laptop, running the latest ubuntu mate distro. Same thing happened, with both wifi and lan. before I configured it worked fine, connected fine and everything.

 

please help, I can't even play a youtube video at this point with my usb wifi reciever.

Hello Johnny_Bq

 

So its connected to the router just fine but your devices will not connect to the extender? Have you made sure the extender has a different SSID than the router?
