Can't get extension WiFi to recognise my WiFi password
I have turned it on, moved it away, then further away, all lights are on. When I look at my phone it comes up with the 2 WiFi extension options. I choose one/either and it asks for my WiFi password so...
Thanks, the initial.set up works with my Vodafone WiFi hub model THG3000. Lights all on on the Nethear EX6110. The only issue, it seems is that the password is not being accepted. The netgear leaflet says "use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router". I have assumed that this is the 16 digit WiFi password printed on the bottom of my WiFi router but this is the thing that doesn't seem to work. I don't know any other password. I am trying to link my S10 Galaxy phone or my Samsung tablet. Same problem. I have tried the 2 numbers you can see in the photo and also the PIN on the Netgear EX6110. Nothing.
Might try reading a bit on the vodafone forums about that router.

- You are correct. Vodafone does not support a 3rd party Extender. I definitely won't be renewing my contract with them when it finishes. Thanks for spotting the error!

If WPS won't work, try something like changing the wifi settings in your modem/router.
This is not the first time that your problem has hit these places:

- OK. Though I am not technologically minded so I wouldn't know how to do this 🤨
