WNDR3700 & WNHDE111 Wireless Connection Issue
My dual band wndr3700 is not connecting wirelessly to the access pt/bridge wnhde111.
I have the wnhde111 set to auto mode on the back of the device. When I connect the ethernet cable to the back of the wnhde111 and to the port on the back of the wndr3700 router everything connects and works fine.
When I try to using the wnhde111 with a wireless connection to the wndr3700 router (meaning I unplug the ethernet cable from the back of wnhde111 and the wndr3700), I receive a message that says there is limited or no connectivity for the wnhde111 even if I place the wnhde111 next to the wndr3700.
I tried using the wps PIN setting on the router and the wnhde111 but it timed out after few minutes.
Again if I connect the wnhde111 to the wndr3700 with an ethernet cable, all works fine.
Any suggestions??

this is the same method with 3700... still timing out?
are you testing closer to the router.. 5,6ft away first? - I followed the instructions you sent and no go. The router showed a timeout message when both devices (wndr3700 & wnhde111) were farther apart from each other (10-12 feet) and when they were very close to each other (about 3-5 ft)
Any suggestion where to go from here? - tell the truth on with WPS setup.
if you can try traditional repeating or use wn2000rpt/wn3000rp extender
