Ok. Still at a loss of what I'm doing and just trying to retrace my steps. I have the ethernet cable going from the house (modem) to the shop and the ethernet cable is plugged into the network switch box. I plugged the extender into the network switch box and configured the extender as an access point. The extender shows that it is getting a wifi signal. My phone shows that it connects to the IP address with the extender. How can I test that it is working in the shop, meaning, trying to connect a wifi enabled item? I have a wifi camera mounted in the shop, but it isn't connecting. I also have an EV juice box and Iam having the same problem. Now I feel defeated.
