WN3000RP Password

Hi folks.

I’m looking to buy an WN3000RP range extender. Before I do I watched a few YouTube videos on it.

During the setup all of them show a password being input. As my router doesn’t use a password, I’m worried that the extender won’t accept this config.

Before someone suggests using a password, it wouldn’t fit my situation.

Can anyone advise me on this?

Hi BigDingus, 

 

You'll be able to proceed with the extender without a password. In order to do this you must connect to the router during the setup and since your router does not require a password, the extender should not prompt for one during the setup.
