Connect a device to the extender's wifi network (or using an ethernet cable to the extender).
Then browse to mywifiext.net. You'll need to log into the admin ui, and can you'll be able select the router's network and enter it's passphrase there.
If you can't log into the admin ui, follow the instructions on page 31 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/EX2700/EX2700_UM_EN.pdf

I cannot connect to the extender because it’s saying incorrect password when I try conecting. When I go to that website it just says you are not connected, even tho I am connect to the main modem

You are saying that you can't connect to the extender wifi? Did you reset the extender?
- LeejohnstAug 19, 2018StarThe extender is connected to the modem. But all devices say ‘incorrect password’ when trying to connect to the extender.
Yes I’ve factory reset the extender multiple times

Is the reason why I can’t log into mywifiext.net because I haven’t got one of the compatable extenders?
