Rename Wireless-N WiFi Repeater
I accidentally gave my WiFi repeater the same name as my router. How can I change it? Don't seem to be able to log in using IP address anymore

couple different ways.
1. log into your router and find the ip address for the extender. use that to connect to it.
2. hardwire into the extender and go to mywifiext . net change the ssid from here.
3. Factory reset and start over. push and hold reset while powered on for 7-15 seconds. the lights should blink when held long enough. go through setup again.
