Can’t connect devices to extender
I have set up my extender and am ready to use it. However, when I try to connect my devices, it tells me my WiFi password is incorrect. I am using the same password as I always do for my regular WiFi modem. Any ideas of what to do?
Model: EX6110|AC1200 Dual Band WiFi Range Extender

Re: Can’t connect devices to extender
What router did you set it up on?
what firmware is on the extender?
did you set it up using wps? if so, try factory resetting and reinstalling using the installation assistant.

It’s linked to a century link router and I did use wps to link it.

It is a 802.1 1n router through century link. I have not tried the other method yet.

Re: Can’t connect devices to extender
centurylink has many routers. An actual model helps.
But try the installation assistant first

Re: Can’t connect devices to extender
I can’t use the installation assistant because my laptop won’t connect the the extender.

Re: Can’t connect devices to extender
Where is it failing in the process?
What error is it giving you?
Did you try factory resetting the extender? push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its fully powered on?
