Wifi range extender N300

Buongiorno,
Ho acquistato wifi range extender N300 per amplificare il segnale wifi in tutta la casa.
Peccato che il led client non si sia mai acceso e non consente il log alla rete nuova_EXT
Consigli?

Factory reset the extender. Push and hold reset while its powered on for 7-15 seconds.

Then re-run the installation and use the installation wizard and not using wps. Wps gets coded different between different manufacturer's and can create issues.

this didn't help. it didn't explain what you did. "log the network" can be taken many different ways.

Please be precise in what steps you did, where the errors are, and whats going on. I'm not there to see so I can't help without details

What router are you connecting to? 

What do you mean by "acl is disabled in my router"? 

What wireless security are you using on your router?

If you have any special characters/spaces in the router's ssid/password, remove them.

I have a modem/router adsl2+wifi wpa psk.
Acl is the acces control list....so the extender should be free to connect.

Acl is the acces control list....so the extender should be free to connect.--------supposedly. 


You also put you're running wpa-psk. its an outdated wireless security. you should be running wpa2.
