Unable to reset N300RE range extender
I was pointed in the direction of Netgear by the On Networks support page (http://support.on-networks.com/) so I'm hoping someone can help.
I bought an On Networks N300RE Range Extender a couple of years ago and it was working fine. Recently though I got a new router from my broadband provider, and thereby a new network. However, despite numerous attempts to factory reset the N300RE, when I plug it, it shows my old network name and there seems to be nothing I can do to point this to my network.
I'm on a PC running WIndows 10. If anyone can help I'd be most grateful. Thanks.

Hello Bringitonskippy

Re: Unable to reset N300RE range extender
Hi, Having the same problem, unable to get rid of the last hookup and factory reset not working. I don't have access directly to the router, in a shared wifi setting in an rv park. Any suggestions?

Hello greatgranpat
I am talking about hooking your pc to the extender via ethernet to go threw the setup process.

Re: Unable to reset N300RE range extender
Hi... you've saved my life, thanks so much! Never even occurred to me to try hooking it up with an ethernet cable. I've now reset it and connected it to my new network. Many thanks indeed!
Just need to point out to other users that the web address now seems to be www.mywifiext.net ("ext" rather than "extender").
