My PC doesn't have any wireless connection. Maybe I set up the network with Android tablet. Then again maybe I used my laptop when I first set up that is wireless.
But I don't believe I can get to extender from PC. Don't find any wifi connection manager on PC.
Thanks, will go find laptop and see if it finds the extender.

There is a WPS button on main router, but for some reason I have never used that, seems someone told me to do it manually?

You can try setting it up using the wps button. If it doesn't work, then factory reset and use the assistant.
You can use the assistant by hardwiring your pc into the extender for setup

By hand wiring you mean just use a RJ14 Ethernet cable? But it looks like I can use laptop or Tablet. Thanks for your help. Seems Netgear should let me logon extender and change SSID and/or network password without factor reset. Most likely hardware was not designed for them to code those functions.
