New router with different SSID - can't change my Netgear extender's NETWORK_EXT NAME to match new ro
I've been using the extender and it works fine. But recently I got a new router with a different SSID and my extender's network name is still the OLDNETORK_EXT and I can't find a way to change it to...
I tried doing the factory reset, but when I plug the extender in, the old _ext network appears and Microsoft Edge, Chrome and IE all ask for a user name and password for the server, www.mywifiext.net. I don't know what user name and password it wants. Any thoughts? Thanks.
I too am having a difficult time understanding how to change the extender to sign on to a differerent network name and password. Help keeps saying to connect to the extender. I do not see how that is possible except using the non-existent network name. I do not see a reset "button" on the extender. I see a tiny hole and what looks like a tiny silver screw. Am I supposed to stick something inside the hole and hold for 10 seconds? Thanks.
Hello cmcasey
Yes that tiny hole is the Rest you will have to stick the a paper clip or a pin in the hole for 10+ seconds to reset the device.
