Model: AC50  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version:

Got this AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Router in order to extend the range of our network provider's modem, but no matter what I do it just doesn't provide actual connection to the internet (I can connect to irs SSID, but no webpages load). I've tried Router Mode, Access Point Mode, even plugging in a cable from this router to the modem- all to no avail.

 

Is there a streamlined guide/way to just use this as a wireless extender without having to connect it to the modem router with a cable?

Hi, may I have the exact model number of your AC1200, is it Archer C6/A6/C1200?

 

Please refer to the below instructions to set up one of AC1200 as a range extender by enabling the WDS bridge function:
How do I use the WDS Bridging function to extend my wireless network?

 

If it still doesn't work properly, please confirm some details as below:
1. What is the IP address of the main modem router and the AC1200? Try to make them in the same IP subnet.
2. What is the IP address you can get when connected to the AC1200 by wireless, can you ping it and main modem router?
3. Please show us the WDS status page on the AC1200 web UI.
