username and password

HI I am trying to connect this extender and I registered with on mywifitext.com and am attempting to enter my email and username and it keeps saying "incorrect" i use my hints and it shows me my email ( the one I used) and the correct password I just entered--- but doesnt tell me my username?? So now I cant get in to finish setting up-- so I attempted to connect via WPS but I dont see a WPS "button" on my router which is a netgear WGPS606 Wireless Print Server. 

To say I am annoyed is an understatement. PLease help.

    Hi, No, it's not registered "on" mywifiext.com - this domain does point ot the extender LAN IP while connected to it, during the initial installation, as well as later during normal operations.

    The username is the email address.

    Hm, that's not a router - just a little device allowing to connect a printer to a wireless network. There must be another router around there.

      Thank you!!
      I reset The extended to factory settings and started over and that fixed the username/email set up issue and I found the main router so I am good to go!!! Thanks for the Help!!
