Hi Keijo,
Please use the below steps to resolve the issue. If you have a NETGEAR WiFi Extender with an Ethernet port (EX6100, for example):
- Use a computer to connect to NETGEAR WiFi Extender via Ethernet cable.
- Login to the web user interface of your NETGEAR WiFi Extender using http://myWiFiext.net.
You will be prompted to enter a username and password.
Default login credentials are:- Username: admin
- Password: password
Note: Username and password are case sensitive.
- Once you have successfully logged in, go to Setup > Wireless Settings.
- Check the value in the Password (Network Key) field under Security Options.
If the password is not same as your Access Point (AP) password, change it so it matches your Access Point password. - Click Apply. (Extender and AP password need to match)
- Reconnect your Wi-Fi devices to the NETGEAR WiFi Extender using either the WPS button or manual connection.
If you have a NETGEAR WiFi Extender without an Ethernet port (WN1000RP, for example):
- Reset your NETGEAR WiFi Extender back to factory default settings.
To do this, press and hold the Factory Settings button on the side panel for 7 seconds. - Connect via Wi-Fi to your NETGEAR WiFi extender
- Login to the web user interface of your NETGEAR WiFi Extender using http://myWiFiext.net.
You will be prompted to enter a username and password.
Default login credentials are:- Username: admin
- Password: password
Note: Username and password are case sensitive. - Walk through the setup wizard to setup your connection to your Access Point. (Do not use WPS when reconnecting to the Access Point)
- Reconnect your Wi-Fi devices to your NETGEAR WiFi Extender using either the WPS button or manual connection.
