Trying to change the name of my router on the extender
This is frustrating. I have a new router (R7000). It has a new name and password. There are 2 speeds on the router, The 5G speed still has the name of the old router, however it connects with the password of the new router. I wanted to correct this by logging into the extender. I don't know the password to the extender access. So... I'm on the "Extender Password Recovery." I got to this by putting in the serial number of the EX6100. Now it wants me to answer two security questions. I answer the questions -- they are not answers that I don't know --- my sister's first name, my father's middle name... Then I get "The information you entered does not matcch what is saved on the routher." AFAIK I've never given this information to my (R7000) router!! I might have given it to the extender... when it was connected to the old router...
Is there anyway to completely reset this extender?

Hi @swhiteindiana,
Since you don't know the answers for security questions, I would recommend you to reset and reconfigure the extender with your new R7000 router.
