AC1900 WiFi Range Extender EX7000 incorrect password error (password entered correctly)
I have an EX7000/AC1900 setup in the middle of my house as a wifi extender. Often I get an error from a device when I try to connect where it tells me the password is incorrect. I have seen this er...
Is it possible that there is another extender in the neighborhood with the same network name? Another thought is that there might be some other network that your devices recognize and then mistakenly try to connect to - for instance, xfinitywifi, or some similar hotspot name.
One option is to try turning off the extender, and making sure that it's network name isn't being advertised by someone else.
I got the same problem and there is no other network sharing the same SSID as mine. The only way to workaround it is to reboot the extender which is very annoying.
Is this a bug that Netgear can take a look?
