WN3000RP
Well here goes - I have been trawling through Netgear's pages for close to an hour - what an exercise in frustration that was. I have a WiFi Extender WN3000RP (no I have no idea if it is a 1 or 2 o...
Have you already managed to set up the ‘3000 at all or are you at the first stage of setting up? Is in new, the lack of a version number usually means it will be a V1? If not new then I suggest that you factory reset it. Do you have all the documentation related to the extender, if not this is available via the ‘Downloads’ option at the top of this web page?
Hi Andy (Babylon5)
I think Highfield and I are having the same issue here.
trying the thing right out of the box, version 3. All set up and working well ( according to instructions), until the password is provided. It says wrong password, and I KNOW it is correct.
Help us out please,

- Just to be clear, we are discussing the WiFi passphrase and not the router admin password? Are you using any ‘unusual’ characters in the passphrase? Have you tried temporarily using a very simple passphrase e.g. ‘abcd1234’?
I have the same problem, straight out of the box it does exactly as it says it should ie when I go into settings I can find the extender with the name mynetworkname_EXT according to the book it should use my network password, it says this in incorrect. I have spoken to my internet provider who reset my passowrd on my router so we could try again and it still does the same. I have done a factory rest on the extender and when I go thro the set uo it does exactly the same, still denes my password, I've also tried "password", again bit disappointed netgear wont help with a fee, I bought the extender months ago but didnt get around to installing it so am out of the 90 days fee free, any suggestions please or do I just go and buy a new one
Hi Ellacino,
Which WN3000RP are you using? v1, v2, v3?
After logging into mywifiext.net, and using admin//password to log in, please try manually updating your extender to the latest firmware.
