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.

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.

My iphone has trouble connecting to a wifi range extender

I have a Virgin media wifi Hub and a TP Link wifi range extender and have intermittent connection issues.
Unhelpfully i have heard rumours that iphones and iPads don't react well to environments with range extenders.
I have checked the firmware of the extender (it's up to date).
I have checked the settings of the extender - going through a factory reset/clear all settings and initial set up - they all look fine.
The iPhone and iPad are both iOS7.0.2 and do not have any issue connecting to wifi within "well known high street coffee shops".
I've searched for any settings obvious or otherwise on the devices in order to resolve this.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

I use an Apple Airport Extreme and two Apple Airport Express devices for my WiFi Network. The two Apple Express devices are set up as range extenders. This setup works well, with the exception of when I use my Microwave Oven the newer and furthest Airport Express drops the connection to any devices that were using it. I have to unplug that Express and then the devices reconnect. I am sharing this only to say that interference can play a part in Network issues with Range Extenders. My newer Airport Express is a Dual Mode supporting 2.4 and 5.0 at the same time. Any connected device capable of 5.0 will use the faster signal.
Don't know if your Network devices allow for manual Channel selection but if so you might want to try some various channels to see if that offers a reliable connection.

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

Can i use airport extreme as wifi range extender in conjunction with a Linksys AE4500 router

can i use airport extreme base station as wifi range extender in conjunction with a Linksys AE4500 router

If you are trying to "extend" using wireless only......Apple tells us that their "extend a wireless network" feature is designed to only work with other Apple routers.
So, in order to use your AirPort Extreme as an extender, you would need to have another Apple router.....an AirPort Express, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Extreme as the main base station.
I haven't tested the specific Linksys model that you have, but have owned and worked with several other Linksys models, none of which were compatible with Apple for the purpose that you ask about....so I would have to say that it is extremely unlikely that your model would be compatible with the AirPort Extreme.

Can I use my extreme as a wifi range extender? my dsl is a westel madem/wifi combo.

can I use my airport exteme as a wifi range extender? my dsl is a westel modem/wifi combo.

You can use the AirPort Extreme to extend the wireless network if the network has been created by another Apple router.
The AirPort Extreme would not be compatible for the purpose of extending the wireless from the Westell gateway using wireless only.
If you could connect the AirPort Extreme to the Westell device using an Ethernet connection, you have some other options. Post back if you need more info on this type of setup.

Using AirPort Express as a WiFi Range Extender

I have a Westell Versalink 327 W combination DSL Modem and Wireless Router downstairs hooked up to an iMac via ethernet cable. Can I use the AirPort Express as a WiFi Range Extender upstairs? Any issues I should be aware of?

I suggest that you check with DLink on this as using the same manufacturer will always give you the best chance at compatibility.
Maybe this would do it:

Very poor connection with wifi network with mini iPad.

I recently bought à new mini iPad. The connection with wifi network is lost very often and therefor not Stable. I tried the tips such as forgetting the network and connecting again, but that doesn't help. What can I do?

Do #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Wifi range extender and iPad

Which wifi range extender works with i-pad OIS7.0.4? Netgear WN3000RP does not. Tnx

Thanks to the Apple technician I reached by phone, we found the solution. The solution is to tell the i-pad to forget the main network. The i-pad then then uses automatically the extended network only.

Plese give me the Proper suggetion about this issue..!!

If your router is not identified in a national database (don't recall who maintains it or where it is) then there is no location associated with it. Hence your device cannot be located. I suggest you try your test at some public wifi spot, like a bookstore or coffee shop. These places usually have a location associated with their wifi router.
