Hello.
It really appears that something is wrong with the password.
Did you try to set a different password in your WiFi extender?

It had been using the same password--and when I re-set it up, I did the same. For some reason, I can't even see the NETGEAR_EXT ssid anymore...even when plugged into ethernet. So, completely flummoxed. And, of course, I have no more warranty so can't get help from Netgear.
Try inserting a paperclip into the factory reset slot, and set everything up from scratch.
Man, I wish I'd seen this before I paid Netgear to re-set everything up remotely for me. Ah well...will know for next time.
