WN3000RP Password
Hi folks.
I’m looking to buy an WN3000RP range extender. Before I do I watched a few YouTube videos on it.
During the setup all of them show a password being input. As my router doesn’t use a password, I’m worried that the extender won’t accept this config.
Before someone suggests using a password, it wouldn’t fit my situation.
Can anyone advise me on this?
Hi BigDingus,
You'll be able to proceed with the extender without a password. In order to do this you must connect to the router during the setup and since your router does not require a password, the extender should not prompt for one during the setup.

Is that a no then?
