The web browser setup guide keeps asking me for my network password (passphrase) or security key, and I am sure I have 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, see Place the Extender and Apply Power on page 6. If you are using WEP security, make sure that you are typing the network password in the correct ield. 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 or access point. 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. 15 I am connected to NETGEAR_EXT and launched a browser. Why can’t I see the web browser setup guide? Try these troubleshooting steps: • Make sure that your computer is set up to use DHCP (most are). • Make sure that the Device Link LED is green and that you have a valid IP address. • Relaunch the web browser and type www.mywiiext.net or www. mywiiext.com in the address ield. Enter admin for the user name and password for the password. How do I restore the extender to its factory default settings? 1. Use a sharp object such as a pen or paper clip to press and hold the Factory Reset button on the bottom of the extender for at least ive seconds until the Power LED blinks amber. 2. Release the Factory Reset button and wait for the extender to reboot. The extender resets and returns to the factory default settings. You can now access the extender from your web browser using the factory default settings. I enabled a wireless MAC ilter (wireless access control or ACL) on my router. What should I do when installing the extender? 16 When the wireless device connects through the extender to your router, the MAC address of the wireless device shown on the router is translated to another MAC address. If your router’s MAC ilter is enabled, the wireless device connects to the extender but cannot get an IP address from the extender and cannot access the Internet. To allow the wireless device to receive an IP address from the extender and access the Internet, you must provide the translated MAC address to the router. 1. Disable the MAC ilter on your router. 2. Power on the extender and connect all of your wireless devices to the extender network. 3. Make sure that the Link Rate LED remains lit. 4. Launch a web browser and in the address ield, enter www.mywiiext.net or www.mywiiext.com. A login screen displays. 5. Enter admin for the user name and password for the password. 6. Select Attached Devices. The Attached Devices screen displays the MAC address for computers and devices that are connected to the extender network. 7. Add any MAC addresses that begin with 02:0F:B5 to your router’s MAC ilter table. 17 18 19 Technical Support Thank you for purchasing this NETGEAR product.
