extender not working need help!

Hello everyone,

 

I have a Netgear wifi extender WN2000RPTv2 and its not working correctly.

My pc says Unable to connect to this network and when I try to connect with my phone I need the password which doesn't work anymore.

What are you trying to connect the repeater to? A router? Which one?

 

Did you try using WPS to make the connection?

 

Which password is this? The wifi or the #browser graphical user interface (GUI)?

 

The GUI password should be password. If that doesn't work, have you reset the WN2000RPTv2?

 

Manuals are always a good place to start.

Visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

Begin with the Quick Start/Installation Guide.

Check the section in the manual Factory Settings.

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

WiFi Range Extenders & Nighthawk Mesh - NETGEAR Communities

You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

Check for various troubleshooting tips.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
