WN1000RP issue
Hi all,
I've followed the setup instructions for the WN1000RP wifi booster. It connects without any issue to the router via the WPS setup but when I try to access the _EXT network it repeatedly tells me that there is a password mismatch. Any ideas what's going on?
I can't conect to the Netgear smart genie steup as I can't connect to the _EXT network
Regards, James

Hi Jamesallen,
Can you please reset the WN1000RP back to factory defaults?
Press and hold the Factory Settings button on the side panel for 7 seconds. The booster resets, and returns to its factory settings.
Then try completing the setup via your internet browser, see page 11 of 35:

Hello rakesh-net
You would need to do a factory reset as nhann posted above after that you should be able to login to the extender with the default login of admin/password.
