Locked out of extender - misspelled wifi password when setting up.

Question

Ive had my wifi extender "WN3000RPv3" for maybe around 6 months now. The other night it stopped working and i set it up again as a new extender. While doing this it seems that i have inputed the wifi password in wrong and have misspelled the wifi password which now means i'm now able to connect as i have no clue what i done instead! Is there any way to fix this? Or am i best just buying a new one? I've tried other tips on here but it is saying cause i'm not connected to the extender its not working :(. HELP please!

Thanks,

Sam x

Factory reset ... use the reset button as documented!

On the extender itself? I have tried that but still asks for a password and then said it was invalid.

Make sure and hold the reset button in for 7-10 seconds.&nbsp;
Hard wire into the extender and go to: mywifiext.net
default login is admin and default password is password
it is all lower case and sensative to spaces and capitalization. setup from there. here's the support page with installation guide, manual, and firmware.&nbsp;

I did give this a try earlier and it didn’t let me on that site because I wasn’t logged into my WiFi extender network (which is frustrating because that’s my whole issue!!) I’ll give it another try tomorrow! I’ll let yous know if it is successful or not. Thanks!

Try it hard wired in.  And by that I mean plug an ethernet cord into it and the other end into a PC.
