WiFi ext password error

I set up everything just fine but when it comes to put in the password it’s unable to connect. I’m sure the password is correct. Any suggestions?

      My extender connects to the router just fine. But when trying to connect my devices it asks for the WiFi password and it will not accept it. The quick start guide says it's supposed to accept the same password that was originally used with the router. Any suggestions?

        To use the second option, you need to reset the extender with a paper clip.  You should then see a network called NETGEAR_EXT.  You join that network (no password needed), then browse to http://www.mywifiext.net
