weird wifi behavior
I just bought these and it was an easy to setup but now I'm having issues connecting other devices. All my ipads, iphones connect, but i have to hardwire the satillites to my home pc and work pc for ...
Looks like that fixed it weird thing is though, other devices are using my origina password. I guess the system uses paswords for different scenerios?
Thank you

Not so much different scenarios as different actions.
Netgear makes life interesting by having all manner of passwords. There is the one into the router's controls, then there are those to get into the router's wifi, and then there any that you use to get into this Community and/or MyNetgear.
Different passwords pop up at different times, depending on how you connect to the device and where you are trying to access from, your local network or somewhere else on the Internet. (Previously known as Remote Access, that's now called Anywhere Access.)
If you are talking about access to the browser's graphical user interface (GUI), the router's controls, these are on the label for your device, along with the default wifi login details. The username is fixed at admin. The default password is password.
- Thanks for explaining that but really helped. This forum is really responsive I love it !
