I just bought a plw1000v2 powerline and after I have updated his firmware from 1.0.0.16 to 1.0.0.18 I am not able anymore to login in the mywifiext . net with the default credentials (admin/password)...

    Hi,

    Check the firmware release notes. The standard password has been changed with the firmware update (it is now the same as the standard wifi password on your sticker). Good for safety but Netgear should have made it more clear before updating.

Hi sugaretto,

I have the exact same problem. After the update i can't log in anymore in my PLW1000v2 web interface. Have you found any solution?

I already tried to do a factory reset (multiple times) but nothing changes.

 

Thank you in advance.

Firmware version: V1.0.0.18 

 

After upgrading firmware and tried to do many ad many factory resets I am not able anymore to login in the mywifiext .net with the default credentials (admin/password)
