Cant set up 740n as an extender

2020-04-17 16:40:18

Hello,

Based on this video, i tried configuring my 740n as an extender to my new archer C20.

Unfortunately, when i try connecting any device to the 740n it says "unable to obtain an ip".

Following the externder guide in this forum section, should i assign static ips to my devices both on my primary and secondary router?

Thank you.

@Problems231 it's suggested to configure the DHCP server on 740N. Please note configure DHCP server by reference to the DHCP setting on the router.
