RE 2000 Range Extender not connecting, This is my 3rd return.

I've returned this RE 2000 twice and have received my 3rd. one. I'm done! It does the exact same thing every time. Works great at first then failure. The light constantly blinks and is not recognizable by the router. I even upgraded my Linksys router to their top router for home and the extender still does the same thing as the replacements. I still have a RE 1000 single band that has and continues to work fine. The RE 2000 has serious design flaws. I did all the steps the others did without writing them all out, i.e. Direct connect with cable, reboot, restarts, re-installs. No matter. Going with the Amped REA 20. So long Linksys.

Tech support ran me through all of that before they would authorize a return.  I mentioned that I tried a direct connection.   I also mentioned that I have the RE 1000 that works just fine, it always has.  The RE 2000 has some sort of issue that I've noticed in all three replacements.  The Linksys tech support and I went through exhausting measures to rule out everything.  I'd end up getting a RMA# to return it and they'd send a new one.  WORKS GREAT FOR A COUPLE DAYS THEN IT ISN"T RECOGNIZED.   All my networking equipment is Linksys/Cisco.  How about a product recall for the RE 2000.

  • Range Extender not working on Wireless 802.11n

    I've started a new topic to ensure this gets the correct attention.  For the back story see this forum topic. http://community.linksys.com/t5/Range-Expanders/Can-t-find-Range-Extender-after-installing-firmware-...
    Long story short the RE1000 Range Extender is not working (connecting, extending) on Wireless 802.11n after the firmware upgrade.  As a result the device is not useful because the devices that attempt to connect to it are NOT expecting the wireless level to change and thus just get stuck in limbo land.
    My wifi network (as of writing this) SSID is called "SeriesOfTubez" and is broadcasting on b/g/n. However as you can see by the wireless network survey (from the router) all other devices connect on "n" but the RE1000 is only connecting/broadcasting on "b/g" (not "n")
    Is there a setting somewhere to force it to use "n" or does Cisco/Linksys need to fix the firmware again to get it right? or do I need to take the unit back to the store and buy another brand that properly supports 802.11n?

    Great to hear that, Steve. Keep your eyes open and observe your connection. Don't worry, Linksys Support is available 24/7. I've had a number of great support experiences from them even at ungodly hours! 

  • WRE54G Range extender not recognized on laptop running Vista

    I have just set up a home wireless network using the WRT54GL and the WRE54G range extender. The main computer (WindowsXP) is wired and a desktop (also XP) is getting 100% signal through the WRE54G. A third computer (laptop running on Vista) works fine on wireless running off WRT54GL but is not recognizing the range extender and getting insufficient signal in other parts of the house including the room where the 2nd desktop is getting 100%. The WRE54G is not showing up on the network map of the laptop. Can anyone help me trouble shoot? I need step by step instructions - I don't know a lot of the internet/network lingo but am pretty computer literate. Thanks

    If one computer is already working fine with the wireless range extender .... you need to check the wireless settings on the vista Laptop ....
    Make sure that the adapter is workiong fine ....
    Also try uninstalling & reinstalling the wireless adapter .....

  • Extender not connecting

    I purchased a wireless Actiontec extender for my home.  The Verzion tech was here for another issue and set it up.  We thought that it was working because were were still seeing my old extender.  Unfortunely it was just the connection not dropping from the old extender.  I have tried everything.  I powered it down.  I hit the wep button on the top for 8 seconds and it was blinking red,  I ran to the router and pushed the WEP button there but Nothing is happening.  Any suggestions?

    What is model number of your router and extender?

  • Airport express extender not connecting to airport extreme

    Mac OSX 10.9.5
    Airport Extreme version 7.6.4
    Airport Express version 7.6.4
    I've done a hard reset of both Extreme and Express, set up Extreme and cannot set up Express as an extender.  Airport utility recognizes the Express, but shows an amber light.  Amber light also flashing on the airport Express, which is within 2 feet of the Extreme.
    "Other Wi-Fi Devices" says no remote airport  base satin is discovered.   Same situation even when connecting the Express to the Extreme via an ethernet

    Temporarily, please power off the AirPort Express and set it aside.
    Restart the AirPort Extreme and check to make sure that it is performing correctly.  There should be a green light on the AirPort Extreme and devices that are in the same room or adjacent rooms should be able to connect to the Internet.
    If you see a slow, flashing amber light on the AirPort Extreme.....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Uility
    Click on the picture of the AirPort Extreme
    Look for the setting for Status
    Click on the small amber dot there and report back with the exact message that you see

  • Wi Fi extender not connecting new Infinity

    Hello.
    Just had BT Infinity 2 installed and fantastic, but, my wireless-n wi fi repeater/extender connects to the HH5 and tries to authenticate and keeps trying to get an IP address but to no avail. Obviously it worked fine on the old ADSL.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    gbukgbuk

    Unless you were using a BT home hub before, then the IP subnet is likely to be different than your last ISPs router, so you would have to reset your extender to factory default, then set it up again, so it pick up the new settings.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • HP 250 G3 can not connect to modem when it returns from sleep

    Hi, Ralink RT3290 Wifi adapter driver is loaded on my HP 250 G3. I can connect modem and internet. I can download and upload data from internet properly. However, if I put my PC on sleep, after waking up, PC cannot connect to modem.   At every turn, to solve this problem, I turn off and turn on wireles adapter. Then, PC can connect modem and work properly.  How can I solve this problem. Is there any problem on my wifi driver or something else? Please help me.

    Thanks. How long is the delay?
    I've had that on my Late 2007 MBP since Day One but the delay is usually only seconds--no more that three on a bad day.
    I think its to do with waking from sleep. The standard sleep mode in the MBP is :Safe Sleep" where the computer writes the contents of RAM to the hard drove before sleeping as a safety net against the battery running dry while the computer sleeps. If the computer has to read this spot of info before completely awaking.
    When I first purchased my MacBook Pro, a month ago, it would connect immediately upon waking from sleep. Now, for some unknown reason, it will not
    That could be the result of now having more to write before sleep than when the computer was new because it's been in use a while and had other software added. For a test, see if the delay is reduced if you quit all open apps before sleep.
    Having  DashBoard active could also be a contibutor becasue many widgets have to "phone phone" for updates and could be preempting the connection opening for regular use. I use this widget:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/dashquit_berenguierduncan.html
    to shut down Dashboard without having to restart the computer. It's a carry-over from the old days of slower computers and expensive RAM but i find it still useful. This does not harm Dashboard or make if unavailable later. It 's basically the "off switch" that DashBoard should have been granted.
    If, after quitting active programs and Dashboard, the delay is still more than a few seconds, then something else is at play. As the computer is new and under warranty, I would let an Apple Store look at it.

  • Range Extender from old Router/Modem.

    Hi guys,
       I am trying t find some information on my router. I have a Sky Broadband router and the signal does not project far enough. I am trying to set up a Linksys BEFW11S4 ver. 4 as a range extender... this can't be connected to anything (because of positioning) but the power. In lamens terms as I am not a networking guru, is this possible?
    All help appreciated.
    Dean

    BEFW11S4 is a router and can't be used as a wireless extender. You have to plug it to the Sky router using ethernet to use its wireless capability. You need to cascade the routers for that matter. It's either you employ LAN-LAN connection or Internet-LAN. You pick one.
    Here's the procedure.

  • Range Extender for WRT300n Router

    I set up a wireless network with the WRT300n router and the WMP-N PCI Adapter in a remote desktop.  There is marginal signal strength and the connection goes in and out.  My question is:  Is there a range extender available for this router?  Because if there isn't, then I've wasted several hundred dollars for this equipment!!!

    Just what sort of distance are you talking about between the WRT and the PC? THis model already has extended range over most anything else...
    1. You may want to think about a repeater between the two
    2. You may want to think about directional antennae

  • Lauch_msg() socket is not connected

    I installed Lion Server in my Macmini early 2009 and after a while of use when I boot the system it stays stuck at the gray boot screen.
    If I boot verbose the system last message is lauch_msg() socket is not connected and it remains at it.
    That's the second time this happens. At first time I reinstalled the system using the recover partition and it worked till I rebooted it.
    Is there a solution to this problem ? Is it a known problem of Lion Server ? I would like to found a different solution than reinstall the system again.
    Regards,

    This is the second time I've reinstalled.  These are normal App Store clean installs on newly formatted hard drives with no additional software or drivers running.
    I have another partition that has 10.7 Lion without Server on the same hard drive in the same computer and it without problems.  I appreciate any feedback.

  • IPhone will not connect to home WiFi

    new iPhone 4 6.0 will not connect to home wifi--other apple products (iPad & other iPhone 4) will connect to home WiFi--I experienced this problem with first iPhone 4 received 11/13--got new phone 11/26 and STILL can not connect

    Is this a password protected network? Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. After that, try to connect again. This reset will remove all password and wifi information from the device and should give you a clean start to connect to the home network.
