yes i am using the standard windows connection, i can connect it to the same router that is feeding the extender but not the externders signal itself
If you had a dual-band extender and were using FastLane, I'd have suggested making sure that your extender's client-facing network was 2.4G (guessing that the PC didn't support 5G). But the EX2700 is single band.
It sounds like a windows issue, since the other devices are seeing it. You could try a Windows WiFi Analyzer tool, and see if that finds it. If it does, you can try manually entering the network name and passphrase.
thats what i was thinking, was looking ot post here as if there might have been any tweaks i need to make on my apaters end, i have tried adding manually to no avail but i will look inot a wifi analizer tool
When you figure it out, please post back with the solution!
if anyone has any other suggestions feel free to post
Hi Kevelstone,
1. What is the firmware version of the extender?
2. Have you tried changing the wireless channel?
3. Have you tried re-installing/rolling back the drivers for the adapter?
