netgear trek used as a range extender
Have tried to use the Trek as a range extender. Can log in and go thru the process of finding the wifi I want to extend, put in all information including passphrase and then go to apply and nothing happens. Total lost

Re: netgear trek used as a range extender
Hi @urshadow,
Please reset the PR2000 extender back to factory defaults
Use the end of a paper clip or a similar object to press and hold the Reset button for at least seven seconds.
The Trek resets, and returns to the factory configuration settings.
If possible, move the PR2000 extender into the same room as the WiFi Router.
We are going to try and wire the PR2000 to your Router then run a wire from your PR2000 to your computer. Then upgrade the PR2000 to the latest firmware.
After the firmware upgrade, we can set it up as you'd like.
Power on your extender by setting it to Wired mode.
Then connect an ethernet cord from your computer to your extender's yellow port.
Disable any other internet connections on your computer. Have your computer connected to only the extender.
Then connect an ethernet cord from your Router to your extender's blue port.
Open a web browser and go to routerlogin.net to finish your setup.
Once setup is complete, visit routerlogin.net
login with the credentials:
user = admin
password = password
then check to see which firmware version is on your PR2000 extender. Update the version to 1.0.0.14
Now after the firmware update, set up your range extender as you'd like (wired or wireless).
See the reference manual: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/PR2000/PR2000_UM_Non-Cellular%20Version_09Apr2014.pdf
