WiFi extender continually authenticating

WN3000RPv2

 

I got this to (apparantly) link with my router, using WPS.

 

All I want to do now is use it for the very thing I bought it for, extending my Wifi.

 

However, I cannot connect any devices to the allegedly extended WiFi.

 

It fails continually to connect.

 

It constantly says "Authenticating..."

 

, but never connects, just states

 

"'Saved, Secured with WPA/WPA2"

 

I have entered the correct password so many times it is embarrassing (not for me, for netgear)

 

Right now I have a useless lump of plastic and a £30 shaped hole in my wallet.

 

Thanks for that.

Re: WiFi extender continually authenticating

Which router is connected to the WN3000RP ?
Please try resetting the extender to factory defaults. Then set up the extender through the browser (not WPS) by logging into mywifiext.net or 192.168.1.250

You can also try resetting defaults on your router.
