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...
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.
I am in the same boat - Everything is working except the extender password - Have tried router password and rest and using "password"- What am I missing it cant be that hard
Hi AngelaNZ,
Please clarify which WN3000RP version you are using.
Use an ethernet cord and connect your WN3000RP with a computer. (then temporarily disable the computer's WiFi networks, and disconnect from any other internet connections)
Open a web browser and go to mywifiext.net
The credentials are:
user = admin
password = password
Go to Wireless Settings, under Security Options, you can view/modify your Extender's WiFi password
Otherwise, you can reset the WN3000RP back to factory defaults and complete the setup again
You can press and hold the Factory Settings button on the side panel for 7 seconds.The Extender resets, and returns to its factory settings.
