WN3000RP Wont accept network password

Question

I replaced my router, so I needed to reinstall this extender.&nbsp; I reset the extender to factory defaults, then worked throught the procedure for "connecting with WPS".&nbsp; The extender shows up on the list of available wireless networks, but when I attempt to login the extender does not accept the network password.&nbsp;

Im sorry if I sound like an idiot, but this is not something I do every day.&nbsp; I did download the instructions for this extender and followed them word for word.&nbsp; I followed instructions for both options:&nbsp; 1) connecting with WPS and 2) connecting with a web browser.&nbsp; In both cases when it came to the step where I connect the extender to my wifi network, I was prompted for the wifi network password.&nbsp; After entering the password and waiting for a few minutes, I was presented with a message telling me I had entered the wrong network password. I verified the password by logging in with other devices.&nbsp; I then tried logging in again, but got the same message saying the password was incorrect.&nbsp;Dan
