Model EX7300v2 - need to reset password and extender not showing up in wifi menu for connection
Hello all. Looking for some help. I have a Netgear Nighthawk Extender and I'm having issues with it. First, it doesn't even show up in the wifi menu to choose to connect to - for any devices...

Thank you very mucy.
I did the factory reset and it came back online, but i still can't log in even with admin and password as you state. Any other ideas?
Also, if it's online and all lights green shouldn't it be accessible from wifi menu on mobile device?
Thanks.

If its online you should be able to access it but maybe not from the mywifiext . net because the router handles the forwarding. If you log into the router and check your attached devices page (or equivelent), it should show the ip address for the extender if its connected.
Some have needed to hold reset up to 30 seconds.
i'd also try another browser or even pc/laptop. I've seen auto-fill managers overwrite data and cause login issues.
