after firmware update on wn2000rptv3 extender Admin is not valid
I just upgraded from v1.0.1.18 to v1.0.1.26 and while the Extender is running I can no longer access it. Yes, I was bad and had just left the default access as on the unit of User = admin and Password = password. Now that the update is in, it is asking for an email address which to the best of my knowledge has never been entered.
1. In such a case does the upgrade put in some sort of default?
2. Is there anyway to recover short of doing a Factory Reset?
3. I did make a Backup Config File, but I presume if I restore that after a Factory Reset, I will be back at v1.0.1.18, correct?
Regards,
Keith
After no response and the need to get the extender back up, I just plunged in.
It took several Factory Resets to actually get a reset to work thouroughly. But once it worked it took me to the New Setup and I was able to quickly get it back online. At least it preserved the upgrade so I was on the new version 1.0.1.26 that I had just upgraded to.
At the present all is well.
