NIghthawk X6s Tri Band Extender won't allow me to Enter the password for existing network
I upgraded the firm ware for my Wifi Router and extenders -Nighthawk X6s Tri Band Extender. Now when I do a wifi extender setup, I can select the 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz Network that I want to extend, but...
I have a Nighthawk R8500 router
Did you try not checking the "same password" box, and just entering the password(s)?
Yes, I tried that as well. It lets me uncheck the box but it won't allow me to enter a password for the extender and the "next" button will not highlight and let me continue.
There might be something else missing in the configuration. Perhaps go through the setup again and look for that.
