Where do I find the password to connect to NETGEAR_EXT

to be able to use the app Nighthawk.
To activate the app it tells me to use the NETGEAR_EXT but I have no password to do so??
Thanks

    The netgear_ext is the default login info. It should be on the label for the device or be open for setup. Did you look on the label? 

    Otherwise the ex6250 has an ethernet port you can hardwire into for setup. it tends to go smoother/faster this route
