Extender WiFi Network Name & Password Issues
Hi there! New to the community... :)
I am trying to set up my EX 6100 Extender and having the hardest time. I followed the instruction manual directions to "Connect with WPS", and got to Step 4, where the Extender Wireless Name changed to my WiFi network name with _2GEXT and _5GEXT after it. However, it's showing the original WiFi network name (basically the Model number of the router), instead of my personalized network name that I had changed it to "Sexy Classy".
I'm not sure if this matters, but I'm wondering if there's an issue because when I try to access the Extender Wireless network, my original WiFi network password is not working, and Step 5 in the instruction manual says the passwords would be the same.
Has anyone else experienced this? Would love any help!

Try connecting to www.mywifiext.net login to the extender and change the password and see if that will allow you to use the wireless network.
