Netgear AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender

Hi there, I'd like to know if I can log into this extender remotely in order to change the password. The extender is plugged into the garage, buried under firewood and garage junk, and before I get busy emptying out the garage to find it, I am hoping to be able to log in remotely to reset the password and actually be able to access the extender's wi-fi network. I can see the network on my list of available wi-fi networks, but can't log in as I don't have the current password. Advice please :)

    Hi VictoriaNZ, 

     

    You will need to physically reset the extender to reset the unit to factory settings.
