Wifi range extender won't accept router password
When the _ext appears on my imac wireless options and I click to connect it does not accept the router password, if I dont get an answer soon I will take it back and get a refund!

As I've said before, you first connect to NETGEAR_EXT and then browse to www.mywifiext.net. That gets you into the setup process where you link the extender to your router's wifi.
What happens when you do that? Are you
- not able to connect to NETGEAR_EXT?
- not able to browse to www.mywifiext.net?
- something else???
