I can not login with default uid and password after reset to factory settings
i have loaded the latest firmware and still cannot login using admin and password to plw1000v2 with pc connected to the plw1000v2 wifi network
If its been factory reset the login is admin and the password is the default wifi password.
If you didn't get it fully factory reset, it'll be whatever password you setup.

are you talking connecting to the wifi? Or logging into the settings on the mywifiext . net ?
the wifi ssid/password should be on the extender. And the password will be the same as the wifi password thats on the label.
One thing to keep in mind is that many just click the reset button. it needs to be pushed and held while the device is powered on. Its usually 7-15 seconds but the lights should flash/change when held long enough.
