1. NETGEAR Genie keeps asking me for my wireless password, and I
am sure I have entered the correct wireless password. What can I
do?
It is very likely that the Extender is placed at the borderline of the range
covered by the router. Follow the instructions in the previous section to
resolve this. If you are using WEP security, make sure that you are typing
the wireless key in the correct field.
2. I connected to NETGEAR_EXT and launched a browser.
Why am I unable to see NETGEAR Genie?
First, make sure your computer is set up to use DHCP (most are).
Second, make sure the PC to Extender status LED is green and you
have a valid IP address. Finally, re-launch the browser, and enter
www.mywifiext.net.
3. Will the Extender work if I connect it to the router with an Ethernet
cable?
No. The Extender is designed to connect wirelessly to the router.
4. What are the user name and password to log in to the Extender?
The user name is admin, and the default password is password. Both
are case-sensitive.
