Extender stopped working after firmware upgrade WN2000RPTv3

I updated my firmware to wn2000rptv3-V1.0.1.4.

My extender now only goes to an Account Registration page.

Nothing I try (mywifiext.net or .com or http://www.routerlogin.net) has helped.

While I didn't want to set up an Account, I tried to anyway.

After filling in all of the fields, the next button stayed grayed out.

It has not mattered how many times I tried, it still does the same.

I tried with 12, and 15 symbol passwords. No luck.

My extender is basically useless now unless someone can tell me how to fix this.

The extender was working like a champ before the upgrade.

Just goes to show that newer is not always better. :)

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.

    Thanks for the response DarrenM.

     

    I followed the instructions but it wouldn't upgrade. I tried several times.

     

    I finally restarted the computer and retried all of it over and VOILA, it worked like a charm.

     

    I even braved up and updated it again and it took the firmware upgrade like a champ.

     

    Not sure what I did wrong on the first upgrade.

     

    Don't know what tomorrow will bring, but tonight I'm a happy camper.

     

    Thank you very much!!!
