Do you still have your wifi turned on? maybe the wifi is directly connecting back to your router.

Re: trying to update firmware and the link to the wifi ext is not working
well, i have my ethernet cable plugged directly from range extender to laptop, so not sure if wifi is still on or not? What is best way to ensure the laptop is only using the wifi extender connection?

Re: trying to update firmware and the link to the wifi ext is not working
go into your laptops network connections and disable the wifi adapter from there. you can reenable after you get it setup.
otherwise your laptop could have the wireless connected back to the router and the ethernet to the extender.
