I wish to extend the coverage of my Thompson TG585 v7 router to another part of my cottage where the signal is blocked by granite walls.
To achieve this I have purchased an NL-HP200SG to plug into the router and an NL-HPW200 wireless extender at the remote location.
I have set them up as per instructions and both my and Grandsons lap top will connect to the wireless extender. When we try and log onto the internet it looks as though it is going too, showing the web address but takes a long time before you get an error message to say connection has failed. The system appears to be working but I suspect I need to change a setting on the laptops or more likely the extender to allow the internet to display. I have gone through the settings but can't see anything appropriate and the documentation isnt much help.
The guide says that the connection will be secure but when I view my network connections it advises that the wireless connection is unsecure but i am unable to find any way of setting up a password.
If i start the power packet utility and plug the NL-HP200SG into my network connection on my laptop i can see both, which would confirm that i have correctly set them up to see each other.
Any guidance would be much appreciated
