FAQs
This section provides answers for difficulties you might experience with the extender.
The web browser setup keeps asking me for my network password (passphrase)
or security key, and I am sure that I entered the correct password. What can I do?
The extender is probably placed at the borderline of the range covered by the router
or access point. For more information about where to place the extender, see Find
Extender's IP Address on page 44.
If you are using WEP security, make sure that you are typing the network password in
the correct field.
I forgot my admin email address and password. What can I do?
In the login window, click the Username & Password Help link to answer the security
questions that you set up during the initial setup. For more information, see Recover a
Forgotten User Name or Password on page 32.
To restore factory settings:
1. Use a sharp object such as a pen or paper clip to press and hold the Reset button
on the extender for seven seconds until the Power LED lights amber.
2. Release the Reset button and wait for the extender to reboot.
The extender resets and returns to the factory default settings.
