Anyone else getting asked for a Net Security password for their PowerLINE WiFi 1000, mod# PLW1010?
Other details that is required about me and my problem(?): >I'm in the States >Bought this at amazon >My ISP is TimeWarner 300mb >My computer is just Windows 10 >My modem is a Motorola / Arris S...
Yes. Do this:
Connect your computer or laptop to the PLW1010 adapter (with the antenna) with an ethernet cable.
In a browser, go to mywifiext.net and in the login box, use admin / password to login to the config page.
In the wireless screen, there is a password already setup for WiFi (mine was bluebird34).
You can change it or leave as is, but in any case you now know it.
Log out of the config page, disconnect the ethernet cable, and login to the NETGEARxx_EXT
WiFi network with the password you just learned (or changed to).
