My router security is WEP, and I entered the wrong passphrase or security key on the
extender. I cannot access the extender anymore. What can I do?
The extender cannot check to see if the WEP passphrase is correct. If you entered the wrong
passphrase, your wireless device is not able to get the IP address from the extender. You
must reset the extender to its factory default settings to get the IP address back. See
Default Settings on page 76.
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 connect wirelessly 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.
