Netgear AC1200 WiFi Range Extender

HI

I have 2 of these extenders, worked great until I had to change out my modem and get a new password.

I followed online instructions (or so I thought) to get these wirelessly connected.

However, I am doing something wrong.

These are too new to be damaged.

Anyone have simple easy step by step instructions?

I can follow...but I must have missed something on the online tutorial

Original set up was easy peasy...now new modem with a new password is screwing up so much.  Help if you can.  Thanks much

    Anytime you swap out modems/routers its best to reset the extender back to factory and redo the installation from stock.

    Did you do this? 

    If not, hold the reset button for 7-10 seconds (while powered on) until the lights change. Let it go through the reset and bootup and then try redoing the install using the instructions.
