Hawking 300N Wireless Range Extender Setup OK and can get internet OK but can't print to network printers. Can see them OK if I access the "base" wireless network. Any ideas?

Kindly match the wifi settings of the router to extender and give a static ip to extender in range to router lan ip

How far did you get when you followed the user's manual?
What stumped you?

what issue are you facing? its not connecting to your existing wifi network ? let me know if you want me to call you if u r in US

First thing you need to do is setup the IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway of
your extender. Before any connection of the extender, we have to find out the IP of the router. Start Menu Run Type "cmd", hit enter In the black command prompt window, type "ipconfig" The ###.###.###.### to the right of default gateway is the IP of your router.
For example...192.168.1.1
Now you can either connect the extender directly to your computer or
to the router.

Use the wizard to find the extender and to change the information of your
extender to...
For example based upon the above #...
IP: 192.168.1.*** (Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 ( The *** can be any # up to 250 except for the routers...typically we use 235.

After the wizard saves and reboots the print server, connect it back to the
router or leave it there.

Then open up your Internet Explorer and in the address bar, put in the
Address of the router in (192.168.1.235).

It should come up and ask your for the username/password (admin/1234) if it
doesn't then power cycle the device.

On the main page of the extender, fill in exactly the wireless
settings of your router here.
Make sure you fill in...
SSID Channel
Encryption

After you save, you should be able to disconnect the extender via lan cable
from the router and use it wirelessly.

This particular Hawking device must be configured after it is connected to your LAN and powered up.

Before you can do this, you will need the software from Hawking. If your devices Serial Number begins with HEMCHWREN1 use the link below"

If you have a Revision 1 device with a Serial Number begins with HEMCREN1R1 use this link:

Once you have the software, here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Connect the A/C power adapter to an
   electrical source, and then connect it to the
   'Power' socket of the Range Extender.
   
2. Connect your Range Extender to a LAN
   port on the Router or AP that you would
   like to extend (repeat) the range on.
   
3. Connect your PC to any of the LAN ports
   located on the back of your router/AP.
   
4. Now run the appropriate program you obtained from the instructions in the beginning of the answer.

When the auto-load page appears, click the Setup Wizard option on the right and follow the Setup directions.

Scan for your Range Extender by clicking the 'Search' button. Once found, click the device to highlight it and click 'Next".

Choose a name for your Range Extender. You will use this name to identify and connect to your extended network. Optionally, you may change your login username and password. Click 'Next'.

At this point, the Setup Wizard should automatically obtain a new IP address for your Range Extender from the Router. Please wait for this IP to generate into the IP address field. Note the new IP address and click 'Next' to continue.

In the Search box, find the Wireless Network that you would like to extend. This Range Extender works best with other wireless-N networks, but also supports wireless-B and G networks as well. Select your preferred network and then click 'Next'.

For Security Settings, you must make sure that the Range Extender's security settings are identical to that of the Router/AP that is having the signal extended. If you do not know these settings please contact your network administrator.

At this point the Setup Summary displays all configured settings of the Range Extender. If the information displayed corresponds to your desired networks settings, you can go ahead and click 'SET' to apply the settings. The HWREN1 will automatically reboot. Please be patient.

try turning on an open NAT configuration, opening your ports on the router, look for tutoriales on how to do so.
this will probably solve your problem

Green is good, yellow you can have several issues. The least obvious is a loopback which is usually caused when the primary wireless and the extender are duplicating IPs between themselves or another unit. This can also happen when two extenders come within range of one another or when the extender is also used as a wireless node and the IP range is the same as the primary network.

They just issued new firmware: http://www.hawkingtech.com/support/details.php?CatID=32&FamID=105&ProdID=394#Firmware
