Can't Continue N300 Setup after Naming Screen

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble setting-up my extender using a Macbook. It runs me through the first couple of screens with no issues and even finds my router and lets me select it however, once I reach the screen that allows me to rename the extender and select a security type it does not respond to me clicking the "continue" button unless I select "none" as the security type. Obviously, I want the extender to be password protected and have the same requirements as the router. How do I remedy this situation? Thank you in advance. Please feel free to let me know if I need to elaborate more.

    Hello Stephen3

     

    Have you tried to complete the setup with out security then connect to the extender and go to www.mywifiext.net and try to add the password then.
