There can be multiple reasons why the red light is on your Netgear WN2000RPTv2 WiFi extender. Here are a few possible explanations:
1. Power issue: Check if the extender is properly plugged into a power outlet and if the outlet is functioning. Try restarting the extender by unplugging and plugging it back in.
2. Connection issue: Ensure that the extender is properly connected to your main router or modem. Check the Ethernet cable connection and try restarting both the extender and your router.
3. Firmware update: Sometimes, the red light indicates that a firmware update is in progress or needed. Connect your extender to a computer and log into the Netgear admin panel to check for any available firmware updates.
4. Range issue: The red light might suggest that the extender is not placed within an optimal range of your router. Try moving it closer to the router, ensuring there are no obstacles hindering the signal.
5. Factory reset needed: If none of the above solutions work, you may need to perform a factory reset on the extender. This can be done by pressing and holding the reset button on the device for about 10 seconds.
It is important to consult the user manual or contact Netgear support for further assistance, as the specific cause of the red light may vary depending on the model and firmware version.
