I have a Netgear 7550 and a Netgear wn3000rp. I have excellent wifi and signal from both units, but when I try to go online through the wn3000rg I get the message "Something went wrong", "check your connection and try again later" I get this message every I try to connect through the repeater. I checked the setup and it's exactly what the manual says. but it won't work.
REPEATER WON'T WORK

Hi and Welcome to TSF!
What device is trying to connect to the extender? Some Android phones do not like this unit. I know this due to owning one.
See if a reset of the extender and updating it to the latest version helps.

Lets take a peek at your network environment:
First:
Power Cycle everything . . Turn off the Modem, router and all pc's . . turn on the Modem and wait a few minutes for the lights to stabilize . . then turn on the router, then one pc at a time. See if you connect to the internet.
Then:
Remove all the stored wireless network profiles and search for the network again.

Then: check your browser's settings, remove any proxy settings if found, here's how
Then:
with the pc connected to the router, Click on Start . . Run . . type CMD
At the > prompt type or copy and paste the following command:

and press enter.
Come back here and Paste the results in a message.

then please Download and run this Xirrus WiFi Inspector, click the Networks link on the upper left and paste a screen shot of that screen here. Note that this application requires NET Framework to run. If you get an error about a missing function, download and install NET Framework.
