Netgear Extender wn3000rp problem after upgrade to version 1.0.2.52
I did update to newest version WN3000RPv3 Firmware Version 1.0.2.52 and after that I cannot login to the device. It just give me message "invalid username" even that used name is pre-set username admin.
Even factory reset didnät help to solve this issue.

Hi khip,
I'm afraid if reset was not been done properly. Please follow the below article to reset your extender and reconfigure it. Do remeber that extender must be powered on while performing the reset and reset button needs to be holded for 15 to 30 seconds to complete the process.

I would also like to have kind of answer, why this upgrade didn't work as expected?
I also like to take a Quote from WN3000RPv3 manual:
To restore factory settings:
1. Insert a paper clip into the Factory Reset hole and hold it until the Power LED blinks amber. Factory Reset button
2. Release the button. All the LEDs turn off for about three seconds.
The Power LED lights solid amber for about 30 seconds.
The Power LED lights solid green.
The extender returns to its factory settings.
I interpret, as earlier and other models/devices, that reset button in hold until the Power LED blinks and the reset procedure takes about 30 seconds.
