A request for authenticating is asking for a password for that network. I have the same sort of situation: a standard wireless network with a name but when I tried to add an extender to boost signal strength in some parts of the house it created a second network with the same name but followed by _EXT. I can connect to that (using the same password authentication as for the first network) but I would like to redo the Extender function and have it just add strength to the signal by locating the WN1000 in another room. I can't find a way to do that.
So signing in to the EXT network does the job with good signal strength in those areas but I would rather just have one wireless network to sign in to.
You might try whatever password you used for the original network before adding the EXT.
I have been trying a ask about that on this forum but I can't find a place to find the NEW THREAD box to create a new thread. Can you help?
