WiFi extenders compatible with Vodafone Hub
Hi I am having issues finding a WiFi extender that works with my new Vodafone Hub! They all worked previously with my Sky Hub but since changing providers no joy. Have spoken with Vodafone and they sa...
Hello,
I have the same issue - connecting to the extender gives an incorrect password error message. Password is correct.
Ive gone into the vodafone router's mac settings and have enabled the mac address of the extender - so the router is connecting to vodafones router fine.
I cant get into the UI of the exender as you have to connect to the externder - which obviously I cant as it wont connect! Ive tried connecting via cable from the extender to the router - but i still get an invalid password when trying to connect to the extender via wifi. Very frustrating!
Any advice DexterJB ? Thanks!
I bought this extender(see pic) and it works for us. Gave up on the old one. Good luck all, hope you find a solution.
Thank you very much, I'll save up my pennies and buy one :)
Finally got this working last night!
I did a full factory reset to the extender - holding a pin in the reset button (at the bottom of the extender) for at least 15 seconds. When it booted up, the NETGEAR_EXT was available in the WIFI list of my computer. I selected the NETGEAR_EXT wifi option (didnt have to input a pw) and then I followed the CONECT WITH WEB BROWSER instructions where it took me through a simple step by step process on connecting the extender up to my router and storing the password correctly. I can now connect to the extender successfully.
I think the extender was holding onto the previous routers name.
Hope this helps and you dont need to purchase a new extender!
Well done, mine works now, thanks for your help
