Connecting an EX6200....
I'm trying to connect an EX6200 to my wifi network. when I try logging in to the NETGEAR_EXT network on my iPhone it asks for a password. What is this password?
Are you asking the wifi password? The label should have the default ssid and password
Or are you wondering default login to the gui?
Are you using wps or manual method for install?
I'm using the manual method to connect. The directions tell me to open the available wifi networks in my phone and click on NETGEAR_EXT which I did. A password box then pops up. I tried my wifi network password and it told me that it was incorrect. This brings up my original issue trying to connect the Range Extender. I tried the WPS button method first but the indicators would never turn green so I skipped to the manual method.
have you tried using a different device and/or browser for setup?
No I haven't. It wouldn't let me connect to the setup app because I need to log into the wifi network. That's where I need the password, and my wifi network password isn't being accepted by the Extender. I can't use my PC because it's not connected to the wifi network, it's connected to the modem with an ethernet cable. What's weird is I shouldn't even need to go this route, I should be able to push the WPS button on the Extender and the Modem and connect that way but the Extender isn't reacting the way the instructions say it should. When I try the WPS method, I've never seen green lights on the Extender. I'm thinking maybe the Extender is malfunctioning or damaged.
I am having the same issue and it's driving me crazy. I have tried connecting the extender via ethernet, tried assigning static IP's,......nothing!
