Ethernet and Wifi Extender

Jacobjak — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 14:49:20 GMT

So I have been trying to connect my pc to one of my BT extenders via Ethernet. When I try and connect them together it says that the network is not recognized and doesn't connect. This is really bugging me, please help.

Which model extender are you using?

Have you tried a different ethernet cable?

What is giving the error message, the Extender or the PC?

Need more information

You say "one of my BT extenders", you don't say what type of extenders they are, e.g. wi-fi or powerline adapters.

How many extenders are you using and, if they are powerline converters, were they originally from the same or different sets and are both extenders connected to the same ring main and consumer unit? and plugged directly into the wall socket (spurs and extension leads tend to present a problem when using powerline converters)
