Need easier instructions on hooking up EX6120 Wifi Range Extender AC1200

I am trying to hook up my extender.  I cannot do it with WPS so I have to manually connect.  Need clarification on instructions.  A computer whiz I am not.

1.  It says use a WiFi network Mgr to find and connect to NETGEAR_EXT (SSID) - how and where do I find this?

2.  Then I should probably be able to proceed from there.

I have another issue.  I've looked up my _5GEXT Network - wouldnt accept my password so I looked it up and it is what I've been inputting.  How do I delete this password?

 

These instructions are so hard for a novice.  I will appreciate any help I can get.

    For question 2, rerunning the setup will let you change passwords.

    For question 1, I recommend the video on the support site. It literally walks you through using the smart wizard to do an install. I think its the 2nd video in the series. 

    There's also troubleshooting and a manual on the support site.
