I hope somebody can help. I have plugged in the extender, it has connected via WPS to my router and when I go onto my iPad or laptop I can see the _ext wirelss connection. When I select the extender to connect to it asks me for a password (says in the instructions that it won't), i have tried entering my router password but this does not work.Any ideas please?:confused:

Did you ever figure out the password? I have the same situation. Extender asks for password but my regular password doesn't work. I found the PN number on the bag the extender was in and it doesn't work either. Anyone???

WPS key - you need to use from the main router for wps pin number your connecting to..or use standard encryption (ex. WPA2)BOTH information must RETAIN from the main wireless router

wps isnt a big deal.its better and easier to configurate manualy.on the main router use WPA2 (AES) only.asign all wifi devices via DHCP within a range of (xxx.xxx.xxx.001) up to (xxx.xxx.xxx.254).after this was done reboot your router.put in the wn3000rp and connect to it via wifi without extra software directly in windows/linux/osx.open your browser and type www.mywifiext.net.follow the steps and click on "use the router security settings - WPA2 (AES) with the same key.after the setup has finished you will loose the connection to the wn3000rp ... reconnect with the WPA2 key > done.btw. as next you can disable the device number of the wn3000rp cause of security risks. (www.mywifiext.net)

Not sure if my problem is related or not.Cannot log into WN3000RP using www.mywifiext.net. I keep getting redirected to Netgear's website. I've spend a few hours looking at this already, and I can't think of what I've missed. Any ideas?Mark

It sounds like 1 of 2 things are going on:

1) verify that your ethernet cable is working properly between your PC and the WN3000RP. Are you using a cross cable by mistake?
2) are you positive that there isn't anything wrong with the WN3000RP? Has it worked properly in the past?

The directions I sent you should get you access to the admin settings of the router. There is something that's not quite right.

Disable wifi on computer, use Ethernet to the extender
Open the browser and type http://www.mywifiext.net/

@Loffeking

Sorry but I understand why you have problems, because these people are giving you wrong advices.

If you reset your netgear to factory settings, plug it in power and then connect to it via WiFi with a wireless device like a Phone or tablet.
Then, when you are in the open wifi connection with the netgear, you go to the browser on that device and there you type www.mywifiext.net

Then you will start the install procedure.
There you can connect to your router and do all the settings.

Regards,

Hans

I wish my experience can be useful to other users too. Today I performed a factory reset of both my modem+router DGND3700v2 and my Wi-Fi range extender WN3000RP. I found the modem router retained the same Wi-Fi network key (password) I had assigned before the factory reset, while to connect to the range extender with www.mywifiext.com I had to type the default User ID (admin) and password (password).

Good luck
