After setting up the Netgear extender, I am having No Internet access


We could setup the Netgear wireless range extender using the simplest method of wireless protected setup (WPS) or we could use the web browser setup as well. The difference between the two is that one is automatic and the other is manual. With WPS all the settings on the Netgear wireless range extender are applied automatically and on web browser setup, we have to make all the settings what we want to set on our Netgearwireless range extender. No matter which we use, sometimes, after setting up and connecting to the Wi-Fi network extended by Netgear wireless range extender, we see No internet access.

# Reason behind No internet access
When, we connect any device with the network extended by the Netgear wireless range extender, we see no internet access and connected, just below the name of Wi-Fi network of Netgear wireless range extender. It could be due to may reasons. It could be due to the malfunctioning our existing home wifi router or it could be due to the power fluctuations. No matter, what is the reason, we would not be able to use internet in such condition from our Netgear wireless range extender.

# How to fix it?
The simplest and the quickest solution to solve this problem would be performing a power recycle on our every device connected to our Netgear wireless range extender. That means, we have to turn off our router fooled by the Netgear wireless range extender and at last, we have to turn of that Wi-Fi device in which we were connected to the Netgear extender. After one minute, we have to turn our Home router first followed by the Netgear wireless range extender and at last, the other Wi-Fi device. Then again, we have to try connect to the Netgear extender and this time, it should have the internet access.

# Last option, we would be left with is hard reset
If, the way we discussed above doesn’t work, then, we have to hard reset our Netgear wireless range extender. We could easily reset the Netgear wireless range extender by pressing the reset button underneath of it or on the side. After resetting the Netgear wireless range extender, it would come back to factory defaults. The Netgear wireless range extender would just be like a new extender and we could set it up all over again like we first bought it. This time the Netgear wireless range extender will work and we will have the internet access that we needed.
