5 TopicsEX7000 wont work with VPN
I'm using an Arris Surfboard modem with the EX7000 extender. My mobile device uses fSecure Freedome as a VPN. Everything works fine when I connect to the modem directly via Wi-Fi. When I connect thru the extender, the VPN icon appears on my device and I see a Wi-Fi connection icon on the phone. But as soon as I attempt to browse to a web site, the VPN icon disappears and the page won't load. If I turn off the VPN, I can browse thru the extender with no issues. So it seems there's some confusion as to how the extender views and handles my VPN traffic. I've reserved the MAC addresses of the extender in the router DHCP table. I do not have an ACL allow/deny list set up on the router. I redid all of the settings of the router and extender back to simple default settings in case I had screwed something up. Nothing seems to solve the problem. Additionally, the 2GHz extension works sometimes (albeit rarely) and will stop working later. The 5GHz seems to always have issues.Solved14KViews0likes18CommentsHelp with ac1900 R7000 nighthawk, cm600 cable modem, and ac2200 wifi extender
Would it be possible to run an ethernet cable from my cm600 cable modem to set nighthawk ac1900 R7000. Then connect an ethernet cable from my ac1900 to my ac2200 wifi range extender for the wifi. Would i have to set my ac1900 in bridge mode? Also this is for the purpose of not only running an ethernet to the ac2200 but another one to my playstation 4 as well. The ac2200 has the option to flip it as an access point instead of a range extender. Therefore i would be able to connect my wifi devices to the ac2200. Basically it would go internet -> cm600 -> ac1900 ->lan cable to ps4, lan cable to ac2200. Sorry I am new to this. Is this completely redundant? I ask this because when i set my ac2200 as extender mode, it will screw up my LAN connection on my ps4 when anyone connects to the ac2200 for some reason. I dont know what settings i'd have to do to fix that.. just wondering if the setup i described above would work just as well.1.3KViews0likes3CommentsI live in a hotel. Looking for extender

Hi, my AC1900 randomly stopped connecting to my 5ghz Uverse router. The 2ghz works perfectly and I've reset the router and extender several times. After every full re-set the 5ghz works for some period of time but routinely stops working. I'm able to connect to the regular 5ghz so I know the router itself is working but the extender is unable to pick it up and extend it. As the 5ghz is mich more powerful, this is affecting many of my applications. Any tips? Thanks!
