RE2000 N300 Range Extender

hello,
My Internet provider is Bell, fiber optic with TV and phone. There is one room where the signal is week so I purchased a Range Extender (Linksys Wireless-N Range Extender, N300 Dual Band). For the last three months everything was working fine until last week when I woke up to no Internet. I did a few reboots on the router and nothing worked. I then remembered that I had an Extender so I unplugged it and then my Internet came back. I tried and tried to reinstall the Extender but without success and when I thought it was going to work, it would erase all the information on the router. I would have to call Bell over and over again to get them to reprogram the router. I called Linksys support and they couldn`t get it to work either. I exchange the Extender for new one but I get the same result

Hi Gerarld,
This can be caused by an interference. Try changing the wireless channel of your router to avoid some conflict. For the Range Extender try to do another reset again. Make sure that the firmware of the Range Extender is up to date. You may also do the following steps:
1. Press and hold the reset button until the power light blinks
2. Hardwired the computer to the router
3. If you are using a laptop, disabled the wireless adapter or turn off the wireless switch
4. Open a browser (Chrome, Firefox or IE)
5. Type 192.168.1.1 or refer to this LINK on how to manually configure it
6. Once done configuring the range extender, check if you can get online wired to it. If you can, that means it is already communicating to the router.
Help, learn and share

RE 2000 N300 range extender

I installed the range extender and it worked well for week or so then the green light began flashing. I have tried to reinstall however the disc says that it cannot find the extender. Don't know what to do? I have unplugged, replugged and move to different locations to no avail.

Hi jdkhimself. A flashing green light means that the range extender is ready to use. If there is an error, the light flashes quickly. I suggest that you reset the range extender to factory defaults, you may refer to this article here.
After a successfull reset, set-up the the extender again. You may check out these helpful links:

Turning off wireless n range extender at night

I want to save energy. How can I turn off the Linksys N300 range extender at night. Can just unplug or will this screw things up.Is there a button

If you don't mind my asking, where was the range extender purchased from? From what I know, if it is purchased in Europe there will be a power switch. You can just unplug the power cord if there is no power swtich/button. As long as the range extender's reset button has not been pushed, all the settings saved will still be there. Turning it off will not "screw" it up.

Range Extender RE2000

Got this range extender. Works fine at 2.4 GHz but bought it for 5.0 GHz to work in combination with Apple's Time Capsule, Mac Book and iPad & iPhone.
But extender refuses to show 5.0 GHz websites.
Manual configuration at 5.0 GHz still ends with a 2.4 GHz access.
Does anybody know how to configure this?
Thanks,
John

Hi John, what's the model number of the router that you are using? Is it a Linksys router? You can check this link to assist you in setting up the RE2000 manually http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&docid=6cd6b23a8b334b419adac... and http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&docid=206954591ff54e36884bb...

RE2000 Range Extender possibly bootlooping

Hello,
I purchased the RE2000 range extender last weekend. Worked well for a few days and I moved it to a new location. Plugged it in and now the green light on top blinks constantly for a about 15-25s. Then the light will go out and the ethernet light will light up for a second. Then the green light on top starts to blink again for 15-25s. Then repeat. I think it may be stuck in a bootloop and I need help cause there is no quick troubleshoot for this problem.
Also setup with the CD will not connect to the device at all.
Thanks,
Alex

What is the model of your router? The RE2000 is designed to extend the wireless range of your main router. It acts as a repeater for the wireless signal and at the same time a wireless bridge for wired devices. From what I know with range extenders, the light will flash quickly every second or so if it has encountered an error.
How far is the range extender from your router? There might be signal obstructions between your router and your range extender. Try transferring your range extender to another location. Avoid placing your range extender near metal objects, masonry walls, and reflective surfaces such as mirrors. The best location to setup the range extender is the point where you are getting at least 3 signal bars with a laptop or 50-60% wireless signal strength.
I would suggest that you reset and reconfigure the range extender since it is not working at the moment and you may test it with a wired connection with a laptop to see if it is properly configured. And when you say that it is too hot, did you notice any smoke, flash or flame coming out of the device? Be safe. Unplug the device immediately.

Range Extender best practices

Does anyone have any advice or resources on best practices when using a range extender?
I have a **bleep** client who has a large house. their e4200 router is one side of the house while their updstairs bedrooms are on the other side and they complain about horrible coverage.
We've tried the PLW400 and they didn't like having 2 SSIDs. So now we're trying the RE2000 and they are not thrilled about that either. I have yet to get specifics. Maybe it's too far away from the router, I dunno...
I should probably move the e4200 to a more central location in the house but there is no ethernet jacks their to connect to the modem.
So does any one else have any thoughts?

Did you check the thread on your last post (RE: e4200 and PLEK400...how to use the same SSID???)? I had made my insights on your previous post regarding the PLW400 SSID concern/problem.
Please try to check this link on how to maximizing the use of Linksys Wireless-N Range Extenders.
I would also suggest that you try to get the EA6500 or other EA series of routers. to have a more wireless range and speed, it might be an E4200 issue as well.

HT4145 How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? I get a message saying it cannot be extended. Thank you. Arup

How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? As we live in a rural area and our landline broadband speeds are awful, I have moved on to a 3G provider in the UK (EE/Orange) and set up the wireless modem which is working very well with an iMac. I have an Airport Extreme base station which was previously connected with an Ethernet cable to the landline router, and two Airport Express stations as Range Extenders. I would now like to use the Airport Extreme and the two Express stations to extend the range of the Alcatel WiFi device. I have tried automatic and manual set up with the Airport Utility but at the crucial step for selecting a network to extend, although the WiFi device is recognised, I get a message saying it cannot be extended.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

This is a problem with a lot of cheap end wifi hotspot like devices.. sometimes you can just swap the sim out to a real 3G wireless router.. that is a better approach IMHO than wireless repeater ever will be.
In the meantime..
Have a go with the suggestion.. place the express as wireless bridge. With a computer connected to the wifi from alcatel unit.. (I am amazed Alcatel still are in domestic market.. I thought they sold out). Set the express to join the wifi.. you do this in the airport utility.. old one is easy.. but in v6 you have to trust to luck so to speak and hope the auto setup works.. tell us if you have trouble.
With the Express bridging.. you can then plug it by ethernet into the TC.. which will be in router bridge..
ie
You can then run the connection from wireless or ethernet on the TC.. and it will relay back to the alcatel for internet.. all a bit dodgy but who knows.. it may give you what you need.
Wireless repeater is never particularly reliable in my experience. I would avoid it if possible.

Can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

Yes, if the AirPort Express is set up to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name as the other router and the same wireless network password as the other router.

Which range extender works with the Linksys CIT400 phone?

Which range extender works with the Linksys CIT400 VoIP phone? Can I use any range extender from any other comany or does it have to be one from Linksys? I am not sure if the CIT400 uses standard frequences.
On a side note, where's the forum for the phones? I see one in the archives section which seems to be ready only.

You can use the Linksys WRE54G range expander. For that matter, any 2.4Ghz range expander will work. But what’s more important is what router you would be using the range expander with!! Which router are you using?

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 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.

You can check your critical settings as follows using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup:
On the "main" AirPort Extreme
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Make sure you have a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Update to save settings
On the "remote Airport Extreme
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as "Main" network
Check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as "Main" network
Wireless Password = Exact password as "Main" network
Update to save settings
You may need to experiment to find the best placement for the "remote" AirPort Extreme. Start with it positioned approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the distance between the "Main" router and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.

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.

Is the WRE54G range extender compatible with the WRT300N wireless router?

I bought a WRT300N wireless router, hoping it would give me better range than my old hub. It's pretty good, but I still have dead spots in my apartment. I'd like to buy a WRE54G range extender, but I don't know if it's compatible. Anyone try this?

i don't think that the wre54g would work with the n-router .. rather i would suggest you to setup a wap200 or wap54gp wired to the router and configured as an AP ... if it still falls short of the wireless range .. configure another one in a repeater mode ...

Router as range extender????

I was told that I could use this router (EA4500) as a range extender for my Uverse service. To do this, do I need to set it up in bridge mode? I'm a novice at this & I'm not sure what I'm doing. Does the router have to remain plugged in to the modem in bridge mode? Thanks for the help!

You can set the router to bridge mode and use it as an access point only. But you cannot set it up as a range extender. It needs to be plugged into the modem always in order to get the internet connection since the modem will serve be your DHCP server. If you need to extend the signal in the network, why not get a range extender instead of a router?
If you still have the classic firmware for the EA4500, check the link below how to set it to bridge:
