Set Up AC750 Wifi range extender
HI I have purchased and used a AC750 WIFI range Extender in my previous home and it worked great. I now have moved house and I am trying to set this up for my new house. After I have set this up the extended Network name comes up as 5G and this correct but when I put in the password for this name it doesnt recognize it and says it is wrong. There are also listed the Extended Networks names from my previous home. Please help

It seems the AC750 WiFi range extender may still have settings from your previous home. To resolve this, perform a factory reset on the extender to clear old configurations. Then, reconfigure it for your new home network, ensuring you enter the correct password for the new network. If old network names are still listed, ensure the extender is properly reset and then set up fresh for your current environment.
Did you set it up using the push button WPS option?
If so, factory reset the extender and set it up using the installation assistant.
To factory reset, push and hold the reset button for 7-15 seconds while powered on.
Here's a video of how to use the assistant.
