Net gear extender
Please can anyone help. Installed the above extender and followed the instructions to connect to secure network as an extension. Worked perfectly yesterday when we set up. Today the network extension shows twice but trying to connect to either I am asked for password. When the password for router is entered message says incorrect password. Have tried factory reset and enter generic password "password" and get the same message of incorrect password. TV is working OK but can no only connect to internet with iPad and iPhone if in the same room as the router. The router is NOWTV. Have been trying for hours to get it to work. Must admit NOWTV WiFi is useless and in desperation have arranged to go back to Sky but will be 2 weeks for change over. Any advice gratefully received
Thanks in advance

what router do you have?
You have the EX2700 that you're trying to setup?
might be better to post in the extender section and not router section: https://community.netgear.com/t5/WiFi-Range-Extenders-Nighthawk/bd-p/home-wifi-range-extenders
What firmware is on the ex2700?
Have you tried installing it using the installation assistant and not using wps?
