Faqs; Cannot Connect To The Extender - NETGEAR WN3000RPv3 User Manual

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
Ethernet-Enabled Device
If you are using WEP security, make sure that you are typing the network password in the
correct field.
Can I set up the extender in extender mode if I connect it to the router or access point
with an Ethernet cable?
No. The extender is designed to use WiFi to connect to the router or access point if it is in
extender mode. If the extender is in access point mode, you can connect it to the router or
access point with an Ethernet connection. For more information about access point mode,
see Use the Extender in Access Point Mode
I forgot my login 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
Forgotten User Name or Password
If you forgot your password and the answers to your security questions, you can restore the
extender to its factory settings and set it up again.

1. Use a sharp object such as a pen or paper clip to press and hold the Factory Reset
button on the extender for at least seven seconds until the Power LED lights amber.
