Thank you, thank you!! After failing a few times with ASUS "simple setup" info...your video allowed me to do the setup perfectly. Very appreciated!

I have Asus RT-N12E router since 2013. It's five years old now. All those years, this router was a pain in the a$$, disconnecting and having all kinds of problems.

I would like to use my router as an extender, not replace the one I have. Can you do a video showing how to use the ASUS N300-RT-N12 as an extender? I need to have wireless internet outside, thanks.

Says on box 30 second hook up
Your video is 14 minutes and 38 seconds long
Thank you, this is a lot easier than trying to make sense of the owner's manual

Hi there,
I did all steps perfectly but when i'm done it shows my internet status:
The network cable is unplugged.
I have done everything right but the internet dot on the router is off aswell.
Please give me an advice.
Thanks!

My router is kinda far way from my room and I would like use this Asus router in my room, but that means it won't be connected to the modem will it still work? Or does it need to connected with the modem at all time?

[jacstarrdorro]

Does it have to be plugged in to the modem at all times? Or only for the initial setup

As an update, I just got this & tried to set it up but it isn't working. I tried setting it up without internet at first bc I had to run it through the other router's internet and the other router is an ASUS and has the same default url. I currently don't have a computer that can connect to the internet in the same room as the modem. I tried my old laptop but the ethernet port is not detecting any cables (I tried different cables so it's the port that is borked).
I tried setting it up on a different computer that has an ethernet cord run from the router on the other side of the house but it went pearshaped. I also tried to reset the new router but it didn't reset. What can I do?

[silverbane]

Just out of curiosity did it came with a disk? I got mine like a long time ago but I don't remember if it did or not

[algashed]

So you cant just plug that in to the wall where the internet comes from?

Hi Eric...I have follow & done all steps, but still fail to connect to internet..? Do you have any idea why?

I can’t get this router to reset. I bought this a few years ago, I couldn’t get it to work. The router I bought to replace it just broke. I can’t get to the website to set it up. It constantly says no internet connection. It’s definitely plugged in to the modem.

Do you have any info on how to set it up as an extender? I have an RT-N66U but the wireless doesn't reach the back of the house & the ethernet hub/switch we use just died. I would like to set it up like a switch/hub so other computers/devices can connect to it w/ ethernet and wireless.
Since the N66U uses the same URL, I will need to change the default URL for the N12 so I can login to the correct one.

Support this router feature "guest network", which can create up to 4 ssid?
