Password problems

Hi all,

Last night I changed my modem and tried to get my Netgear range extender to sync with my new router.

Did the process as shown in instructions. Reset Netgear extender, got it to pair with the new modem with "EXT" at the end of the device name but it wont accept the new password.

The password worked when I synced my mobile devices, but my range extender keeps telling me it is the wrong password. it should accept the password of my new modem 

 as it did when I first bought it.

Grateful for any guru guidance, can't watch Netflix until I get my Netgear extender up and running again!!!!

Cheers

AussieAngst

    Hello AussieAngst

     

    While connected to the extender you can go to www.mywifiext.net login with admin/password then go to the wifi settings and try and change the password if that does not work you will have to reset the extender again by holding the reset button for 10 seconds and try the setup agian.
