Extender password unaccepted
I plugged my new WN1000RP in and tried to connect but keeps telling me my password is incorrect. I am entering it correctly. Why won't it accept
- Thanks Darren. I finally got it going by doing what the idiot sheet told me to in first place but hadn't read it properly!! Plugged it in right next to the modem (which is in building next door) and it connected automatically. My problem was being the second extender on the system the first had .ext and mine was .EXT but when I first tried it away from the modem it came up .ext.EXT so wasn't recognised. Anyway all Good now. Thanks and Merry Christmas!!!
This is the second extender I'm trying to connect to main router. The first has the routers network name ending with .ext and this 2nd one ends with .ext.EXT.
Is this causing a problem do you think?

Hello Gwyny
The other way you can try to connect to the extender is on your main pc log into your router then go the that attached devices then find the ip address of the extender. After you got the ip address put that into your web browser and that should prompt the login.
