Installed New Netgear Wireless Range extender but new network doesn't have internet access.

I just installed a machine net universal range extender for WiFi and the signal over the Wan is very strong, but when I connect to him he says that have no internet access. What should I change? I post what I'm on the Ext network.but when I try to access other sites, it won't let me.

I had the same problem as you and searched everywhere for a positive response and have not had a. I was about to return the netgear Extender when I, fortunately, has found a way around this strange problem.
In fact, it's really simple, and I encourage really all those who eventually get this problem complain to netgear not having their detailed in the guide installation process that they shipped with the product.

In my case, I have a WEP encrypted network.

If you can't access the web interface of the Extender, you need to reset the device by inserting a paper clip in the small hole next to the WPS button (if you don't know already).

When you are prompted for the encryption key and password for the network existing (the original one), you MUST WRITE THE PAST ON THE INPUT FIELD KEY word select and not the field the password. You can choose one of the 4 input key fields, but you MUST write the password on one of them and leave the field blank password (I think it's just for the WEP encryption, which is my case).

I also changed the encryption type for the new network "_EXT" from WEP to WPA/TKIP but kept the same password.

After the connection is complete the Extender successfully verified updates and all the IP addresses are assigned automatically via DHCP.

I hope that I answered in the time before returning the Extender because I don't have a kind of complained after doing this.

Good luck
Marlon.
