WiFi extenders compatible with Vodafone Hub
Hi I am having issues finding a WiFi extender that works with my new Vodafone Hub! They all worked previously with my Sky Hub but since changing providers no joy. Have spoken with Vodafone and they sa...
Hello,
I have the same issue - connecting to the extender gives an incorrect password error message. Password is correct.
Ive gone into the vodafone router's mac settings and have enabled the mac address of the extender - so the router is connecting to vodafones router fine.
I cant get into the UI of the exender as you have to connect to the externder - which obviously I cant as it wont connect! Ive tried connecting via cable from the extender to the router - but i still get an invalid password when trying to connect to the extender via wifi. Very frustrating!
Any advice DexterJB ? Thanks!
We have the same problem of incompatibility with Vodafone hub. The extender sets up two SSIDs netgear_ext2 and _ext5 but when you click on them it asks for a password. It does not recognise the routers password. So I need to get into the extender to change the password, but I can't as the my wifi extender.net and corresponding IP address don't work.
I think it is because the Vodafone hub gives out dynamic IP addresses up to 192.168.1.200 which is a problem as the wifi extender wants to be on 192.168.1.250 so we can access the login portal of the extender to login and change settings. The extender seems to have been given 192.168.1.164.
how can I log into the extender to change the password?
