Unable connect to WIFI Range Extender
My Router does not have a WPS button so I have to connect wirelessly. I have tried connecting wirelessy to the wifi range extender using the password: "password". Everytime that I try this it gives me the message "incorrect password". The device does not have an ethernet port that I can use to connect to it either. Is there another way? Is the default password different for this paticluar device?

The instructions for setting up w/o WPS start on page 12 of the manual ( http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/EX6000/EX6000_UM_3sep2015.pdf )
First do a factory reset, then join the NETGEAR_EXT (which has no password).
Then you browse to www.mywifiext.net. You'll set up the admin account and password for the extender's web UI, and then complete the setup. You'll need to manually enter the router's network name(s) and wifi password(s) as part of that process.
