Re: Wx6120 extender, says incorrect password

You have the EX6120? 

What firmware is on it? 

What router is it connected to? 

Did you set it up using wps or using the installation assistant?

Re: Wx6120 extender, says incorrect password

firmware is the software (firmware) running the device. 

Vodafones wps function doesn't always work as it should. 

Try factory resetting the extender (push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while extender is powered on), then reinstall it using the installation asssistant and NOT WPS.

All the green lights are on so I presume the wps worked. I tried resetting it but I can’t do the computer way as I get this screen...

When you were resetting, did you push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while it was powered on? 

WPS can get coded different and even though the colors show proper, it not work right.

Have you tried hardwiring into a pc/laptop (disable the pc/laptops wifi) and setting it up that route?
