    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.
