This extender has been brilliant, then suddenly overnight it stopped speaking to my laptops. when I try to connect my laptop it now refuses to recognise the Key and the computer says it is wrong. In...
Thanks, but I've done it many times.
When my laptop asks for the Key, it just says the key is not recognized. It is correct & works with another Netgear Range extender.
If Netgear have a limited life, I'd love to know & that's fine. I'll buy another as it has worked 100% for 3 years!

You would go to www.mywifiext.net when connected to the extender or the router that the extender is connected to and use admin/password to login.

Thank you, but unfotunately this appears to be a dead web address. I have just once again tried it on 2 new high spec comutters & even on a Macbook Air on 3 different brousers.
I have been trying for 5 weeks on 2 computers using 3 different brousers! Every time I get the same message that I need to check the web address
