1. Reset the unit to factory default.
See page 19 : http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/EX6100/EX6100_IG_27Nov2013.pdf
2. Once reset, connect to the default SSID "EX6100_NETGEAR_2GEXT" or "EX6100_NETGEAR_5GEXT".
3. Open a browser and it will automatically directs you to NETGEAR Genie for the smart setup.
4. Setup the extender SSID with your desired password/passphrase.
5. Reconnect your laptop/wireless client to the new SSID.
