Error while setting up

Error while setting up

I mistyped my router name while setting up. I connected it to NETGEAR_NET. I tried to delete the mistyped name in my WIFI settings but cannot get rid of it. How can I get rid of this and start over?

Thanks,

Chris

Re: Error while setting up

What router do you have? 

What Extender do you have? 
Have you tried simply factory resetting the extender and reinstalling it? (push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on). 

Your description left a little to be desired as I'm not sure if you mistyped it in windows or while setting up the extender.

I removed all of the incorrect info from my phone and then did the factory reset. It is now working fine.
