Connecting to netgear range extender

I have a netgear wifi router and connected the netgear wn2000 range extender to push the wifi upstairs in my home. My ipad detects the extender and shows it on the list of available networks then prompts me to enter the password to connect. The ipad keypad pops up so i can type in the password but no letters will type in the password field. The keypad is working for all other functions such as email and google etc. Is anyone using this netgear range extender and if yes, how did you connect. Any problems entering the password? Thanks!

You sure can use the netgear extender with your verizon router.... just DONT follow netgear's instructions. After messing around for hours with no luck I tried this and it worked.
1) turn OFF your laptop's wireless connection
2) Connect your laptop to the extender's Ethernet port and plug in the extender
3) after the extender boots it will show two lights
4) open your browser and it should take you right to the extender's genie
5) follow all the prompts using your Verizon router's id and password
6) disconnect the Ethernet connection and turn the laptop's wireless back on
Good luck

I need to connect a Netgear WiFi extender to my time capsule

I have bought a Netgear WiFi extender to connect my Skye TV box to the internet. I use a Time Capsule as the home router and it won't connect to it. Any ideas please.

The Netgear will only work if it uses universal repeater.. You cannot extend wireless on Apple router using non-apple products.. and universal tends to be somewhat flakey.. good luck.
(You should use express).

I am trig to connect my apple range extender with my xfinity router

Hi
I am tryong to use my apple range extender with my xfinity rouder, is this possible

Apple range extender? There is no such thing... Do you have an Airport Express?
Plus you have Xfinity... owned by the nations most annoying and not loved ISP.
Good luck.
However, not all is lost, I recommend getting an Ethernet cable and run it between the two points you wish to cover with wifi.
Plug one end into the Xfinity LAN side, plug the other end into the Airport and configure the wifi name accordingly.

Connection with wifi range extender

Please advise how to connect my computer with a Netgear N300 Range Extender

Try changing the MTU size on the router's setup page. To determine the correct size, here's a helpful link, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx? vw=1&docid=fbf8e8564632422eaa8ea80bf9dcba64_386.xml&pid=94&respid=0&snid=2&dispid=0&cpage=search
Try also to update or reflash the firmware of the router. The latest one can be downloaded from this link, http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/routers/EA6400 . After updating/re-flashing the firmware, back up the configuration settings and proceed with resetting the router by pressing the reset button for 10 to 15 seconds. Power cycle it and load the backup file. Power cycle the router again and check the connection.
If you are also using a long cable, it would help us isolate the situation if you will use a shorter one and check if there's any improvement.
I hope this helps.

Using a Range Extender with WLC & LWAP

Hi,
is it possible to use a Wireless range extender with a WLAN installation of LWAPs & WLC?
Is there a security setting in the WLC that prevents multiple clients connecting through the range extender?
Any advise would be appreciated.
Regards,
Chris

No.
Range extenders are horrible devices that kill your bandwitdh, increase the collision rate and would totally kill the radio management algorithm. For this reason they are not supported and you should not even look into them. They were more popular when you had very few IOS APs and the speed rates were low. I'm not sure that 11n range extenders actually exist.
Anyway, if you want to extend the range, you could look into bridging APs or mesh APs (AP not connected via wire, uses 5ghz band for backhaul transport to root AP and 2ghz to server clients).

Changing the Range Extender password.

I recently had my AT&T modem and router replaced. I also have a Netgear range extender. We were advised to change the Network Password. We did that successfully on the main unit. Now we can't get onto the network with the extender. I have tried using both the old and new passwords without success. What am I doing wrong?

Hello Duane,
Could you let us know the UCCX version you are running (Windows-based or Linux-based) and which is the exact administrator username you want to change? Is it the one you use to log into AppAdmin?

Range Extender Problem

I connect to the range extender & things look fine, but I can't get onto the Internet.

What is the model number of the Range Extender? In order to make the Range Extender working, you should have the active internet connection from the router. Second, it is important to verify and retrieve the wireless settings of your wireless router to match it with your range extender’s settings:
• Wireless Network Name (SSID)
• Wireless Channel
• Wireless Security Mode (WPA/WPA2 Personal or WEP)
• Network Key or Passphrase
Here is the link for setting up the Range Extender: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=22045&userrole=Links...

Trying to connect a NetGear Wifi Range Extender to my existing Wifi. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and I am also connected to a Vonage Phone Router. Any help would be appreciated?

I am trying to connect a NetGear Wifi Range Extender to my existing Wifi. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and I am also connected to a Vonage Phone Router. Any help would be appreciated?
The Apple update Firmware for my Airport Extreme Base Station does not update for some reason? Help?
Additionally, I have an older version Airport Express that does not update with the newer Airport Utility Version 6.3 and asks me to download 5.6 to update? Is this worth it?
Thanks

The netgear is not going to work very well.. and not at all unless it is universal wireless extender.. you cannot use WDS method.
If it does support universal wireless then make sure the airport uses a rational SMB compatible wireless name.. not an apple name which is 35 characters long with spaces and illegal characters like apostrophe.
So nice AE name.. AEwifi and actually while you are trying.. fruitlessly to do this.. use AE24ghz and AE5ghz (so different names on the different bands)
Assuming your AE is gen3 or greater.
You should also fix the wireless channel at least for 2.4ghz since the netgear is probably only going to repeat 2.4ghz so use channel 11, as a trial.
And use no wireless security as a test.. if that works.. then use WPA1 & 2.. as often old equipment using WPA2 is not compatible.
If it fails with simple name.. fixed channel and no security. Sorry it is not compatible at all.. it happens.
If your AE is G wireless or earlier model.. really the time has come for replacement.
If your Express is G wireless model it is not supported.. and is too old to bother with expect I guess if you want to run audio to a speaker.
You must use older 5.6 utility to do this.. so do you have a computer running older OS.. up to Mountain Lion it is easy to install with a bit of manipulation.. later is much harder .. or windows computer anywhere or available to you.

Verizon MI424WR router and Netgear WN1000RP wifi range extender

Not sure if anyone has configured this before. At face value, it's simple but I cannot get it to work. I'm able to creat a new SSID <AccessPointName_EXT> and connect to it. But once I connect to it, I can't get any Internet activity at all. I don;t have any ACL\MAC filtering set. I'm sure I need to change something on my verizon router but haven't figured it out yet. This is becoming the bane of my exstence! I've tried seeting things up through the wizard and manually...same exact results. Ugh!

FOUND THIS IN THE WN1000RP wi-fi range extender manual.

How to connect TP-Link TL-WA850RE(EU) Range extender to airport Time Capsule

please let me know if i can use TP-link range extender to extend my wifi network of my new airport time capule

Apple's "extend a wireless network" feature has been designed to allow other Apple devices to communicate with each other to extend a network wirelessly.
It is unlikely that a 3rd party device could be configured to "extend" a wireless network provided by an Apple router.....but I suppose anything is always possible.
There would be two ways to find out:
1) Try it out yourself. If you think that you might have it set up, we can give you a connection test to verify that the TP Link device is actually extending the wireless signal.....not simply joining it.
2) Wait to hear from another user who has the same products who has set this up. Unfortunately, the chances that another user who has the same products will ever see your post are extremely small....but again, anything is possible.
If you have not already purchased a device to extend the Time Capsule network, an AirPort Express could be configured to extend the network literally automatically in about 2 minutes....and...the Express will extend both bands of your dual band Time Capsule.

HT4260 Can I use a Netgear Universal WN3000RP Wi-Fi Range Extender?

Can I use a Netgear Universal WN3000RP Wi-Fi Range Extender with my Airport Express to extend the range?
If so, is there anything that I need to do in order to configure my computer for it to work properly?
Are there any disadvanges to doing this (speed, signal strength)?
Thanks.

You always want to stay with the same manufacturer if possible for your wireless needs to insure compatibility. If you have a recent version AirPort Express now, using another Express to "extend" the wireless signal will usually work well if there are not too many obstructions for the signal to overcome.
We cannot say if the Netgear device might work for you or not.....it was not compatible with Apple when we tried a sample a few months ago.....but with wireless, you never really know.
Let's just say that the product may not be as "universal" as the title might suggest. There are likely some footnotes in the Netgear materials that their product will not work with devices that use "proprietary" settings, as Apple does.
If you try the Netgear device, let us know how it works for you.

Is it possible to hook up a Range Extender ( Netgear WN2500RP ) to the airport extreme?

Thank you in advance guys!

By "hook up", do you mean using a wired Ethernet cable to connect the Netgear device to the AirPort Extreme?
If yes, that should be possible.
If you are asking if the Netgear can "extend" the wireless network provided by the AirPort Extreme using wireless only, I cannot say.
Apple has designed their "extend" feature to only work with other Apple devices, so I would be extremely surprised if it worked, but I suppose anything is possible.
Netgear might claim that the product is "universal", but be sure to read the footnote and disclaimer at the bottom of the page on their product literature before you buy.

How do I connect my new Iphone 5 to my Belkin wifi range extender?

I have upgraded to the Iphone 5 and now can not connect to my Belkin wifi range extender. When I go into wifi in the settings it is bringing it up, but when you click on it it does not give you the option to just put in the password. When you go into the details there is no IP address in there! It is connecting to the router downstairs, but this extender was to give me coverage in upstairs. What to do?!

You need OS X 10.6. Make sure your computer meets the requirements and get it here fir $19.99

Netgear WiFi Range extender Ipad sees it but does not open Web apps

Got a Netgear WiFi Range extender which my Ipad sees but does not let me open apps. The Wifi worked before I added the extender. What do I need to do to make it work? TX

Time Capsule not visible when connecting via range extender

Hi,
I have configured a TP-Link WA750RE to expand the range of my Time Capsule's wireless network. The range extender works fine for surfing the web etc., but the Time Capsule doesn't show up as my Time Machine backup device and the Time Capsule is not visible in my Airport Utility. What's even stranger is that when I click on "Configure other" (shift + command + o) in Airport Utility and type in my Time Capsule's IP-address and password, I can still access the devices' configuration menu.
When I move my Macbook very close to my Time Machine to connect directly to the wireless network, leaving out the range extender, none of the above mentioned problems occur. The TP-Link range extender has no NAT or port configuration that could possibly cause this problem, so I'm out of ideas for a way to solve this problem.
Thank you in advance for your help.

A non-apple range extender is not passing the protocols that apple uses.. eg bonjour.. This is a standard problem and why you stick with using Apple's own routers for extensions.
