Wi-Fi extender fails setup
AnsweredHello,
I am running my Powernode wireless, but have some dropouts due to fair WiFi. Measuring the signal strength, I can double the signallevel using my Netgear extender, but after several tryouts the Powernode still refuses to go " Blue" on the LED. Connecting directly to the router gives me "Blue" almost immediately.
What's done wrong -Any ideas

Hi Stefan,
If the LED is not going green when connecting it via Wireless then this usually represents a failure to authenticate with the wireless access point.
Ensure the password is typed in correctly ( it is case sensitive ) and that the access point is fairly close to the Player.
It may be best to ensure the extender has a different name than the Routers WiFi so that you can specify which Wireless network to connect the Player to.Comment actions -
Hi,
Thx for your suggestion, but the extended WiFi is named different already and no case / code mistakes made. During the search stage I get the extended WiFi name on the top of the selection list, only makeing the final link turning blue fails. Distance is round 10 meters, and both the extender as well as the Powernode is in the same room .
