Nighthawk X6 WiFi Mesh Extender Unsecured Network

[Foldedwing]

Hi, 

I've just set up/connected my X6 WiFi Mesh Extender to my router and it shows up on my iphone as an "unsecured netwrok". How do I secure it? Does this mean that someone can access my wi-fi network through the Netgear X6?

Thanks

did you set it up via wps? Not all manufacturer's code wps the same.

Try resetting it and re-doing the installation but using the installation wizard and not wps.
