Range extender lost password EX6100v2
I must be really stupid. I am evidently the only user of the EX6100v2 to ever lose and be uable to recover the password. BECAUSE THERE ISNT A DAMN WORD ANYWHERE ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB ABOUT IT. ...
To resolve the issue of a lost password for your Netgear range extender EX6100V2, follow these steps:
- Power off the extender and unplug.
- Hold down the reset button for 10 sec. then release it.
- Wait for the extender to restart and the LED lights to become stable.
- Connect your device to netgear_ext.
- Open mywifiext in address bar.
- Follow the instructions to set up the range extender and create a new password.
I have reset the extender several times now, for count of 10, 20 and 30 and when I connect with my device I get a LOGIN screen asking for password for admin. Every time. Factory reset doesn't seem to have worked. When I try to go to the webpage specified here, I get "refused to connect". I recently replaced my router and this is the first time I've tried to use the extender which is probably EX6100v1. It worked great with my old router but doesn't connect automatically to the new one & as I said I can't get into the configuration without a password. I've worked in IT for many years so I understand the way these things should work & why it's frustrating when it doesn't.
