WiFi extender ask for security key. My WiFi security key won’t work.
- It worked. Thanks. The network security key was different on my extender than my router, so using the firmware allowed me to go through the setup and change it to my router security key.
I haven’t been able to connect my device to the extender to setup the connection through a web browser. The WPS way doesn’t work either. If I connect the Ethernet to from my laptop to the extender will I be prompted? In the booklet it doesn’t give a way to hardwire connect from the extender to a device. Thanks for letting me know.
When you've hardwired in, just follow the same install procedure as you would normally. Go to mywifiext.net and it should allow you to connect with the extender for setup, firmware updates, etc.
