AC1200 How do I make this secure? It is currently an Open Network
Hi community, hope you can help me. I just connected my AC1200 to my WiFI network (which is secure) but the NETGEAR_EXT says it is an Open network and has no padlock. Any ideas how I make this secure?
many thanks!!
2 options.
1. re-run setup using the installation assistant. Pay close attention as theres a screen during it where you setup ssid and password.
2. log into the extender using its ip address (from the router) and manually change the wireless settings.
