WN3000 remains connected to an old network

[matteo84]

Hello everyone,

I bought a WN3000 some months ago and I used successfully til now with my network (Alice-000000 --> Alice-000000_EXT).

Now I changed my internet provider and I have a new network (Telecom-000000) and I would like to extend it (Telecom-000000_EXT).

Instead, if i try to install WN3000, my computer recognizes the old obsolete network: Alice-000000_EXT.
I resetted the extender, but the problem remains.
How can I do to make the extender connect to my new network?

Thank you in advance

@matteo84 Follow these steps:

1. Connect to Alice-000000_EXT.

2. Access mywifiext.net. 

3. Under Setup click on Connect to Existing Network. 

4. Select the new SSID = Telecom-000000.

5. Change your existing SSID = Alice-000000_EXT to Telecom-000000_EXT. You can use the same password if you want. 

6. Once changed go to your computer's WiFi connections and connect to Telecom-000000_EXT.

@storm1985 thanks for your reply, but I fail to connect to Alice, even if I see it in my wi-fi networks list..

Reset the extender and connect to the default SSID.

Hello
basically I should delete the old connection so 'that I look for the new ... how can I do? thank you

Push the reset button for 10seconds. Power light responds when you push it.

The extender SSID should be back to NETGEAR_EXT which is an unsecured network.

Once connected wirelessly to that network, open a browser which redirects you to mywifiext.net.

Go through the setup wizard and reconnect your extender to the new SSID of your router.
