Connecting a Linksys DMA 2100 to Superhub 2

If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

I have a Linksys DMA 2100 extender that I use to watch my Windows Media Center in another room.

It worked perfectly fine with my Netgear WGR614, then I had to change some settings to get it to work with my first Superhub, again it was fine. I cannot get it to work with my Superhub 2. So I now have my old Netgear switched on just for that purpose, which is not ideal.

I can link the Linksys to the Superhub 2 as I can see the wireless signal strength fluctuating on the extender, but when I try and "Add extender" on the PC it fails. It is something in between the Superhub 2 and the PC, although I know that connection is fine as the internet works perfectly.

I'm sure it's something in the advanced settings on the Superhub, unfortunately I can't remember what I did on the previous Superhub!

Any ideas anyone?

Enable UPnP possibly?

Thanks mdavej

I already have UPnP enabled and also I have enabled DHCP, because I thought that's what I did with my first Superhub.

Have you tried connecting the extender via wire to the superhub?
