Password not working on my net gear extender
I have followed the instructions, but when I try to sign in using my normal wifi password, it tells me it is incorrect

What are all the led's on the front doing?
Did you do a manual setup or wps?
WPS should copy everything over but i've seen issues if special characters are used or if there's a space in there somewhere. Or with different manufacturers implementations causing issues.
I'd start by first checking your routers wifi password to avoid the issues I mentioned and then try re-installing the extender using the manual method. This tends to give fairly decent results.
I'd also recommend avoiding or disabling autofill options as these can cause issues.
