EX5000 extender not able to connect to Device
Hi Community members,
I am trying to connect my laptop to WIFI extender that i can see in wifi list. But somehow its not accepting my ROUTER password. i checked Router settings and can see NETGEAR is connected. But some how accessing the NETGEAR setup
its not taking me to add network page.
Can anyone help in resolving this issue for me.
Thanks
Avoid to mix up the wireless PSK password and the router and/or the extender admin password.
Login to your router, and find the MAC address, and the IP address assigned to the extender. While connected to the main WiFi or the router direct, open a Web browser and call http://[extender-LAN-IP-assigned-in-DHCP]/ - login to the extender Web UI with the admin password defined before.
