Re: Authentication problem

Hi Britt_13,

 

Can you please confirm which N300 WiFi Range Extender you are using? (e.g WN2000RPT, PR2000, etc)

 

When on your computer, connect to the Extender's network (it is usually followed by '_EXT')
Then open up a web browser and go to mywifiext.net

name = admin

password = password

Then follow the instructions to setup your extender to connect with your router.
