FAQs
This section provides answers for difficulties you might experience with the extenders.
The NETGEAR installation assistant 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 
If you are using WEP security, make sure that you are typing the network password in the 
correct field.
Can I set up the extenders in extender mode if I connect them to the router or access 
point with an Ethernet cable?
No. The extenders are designed to connect wirelessly to the router or access point if they are 
in extender mode. If the extenders are in access point mode, you can connect them to the 
router or access point with an Ethernet connection. For more information about access point 
mode, see 
16.
I forgot my login email address and password. What can I do?
On the login page, click the Username & Password Help link and answer the security 
questions that you set up during the initial setup. For more information, see 
If you forgot the answers to your security questions, you can restore the extender’s factory 
settings and perform the setup again.
To restore factory settings:
1. 
Use a sharp object such as a pen or paper clip to press and hold the Factory Reset 
button on the extender for seven seconds until the Power LED lights amber.
2. 
Release the Factory Reset button and wait for the extender to reboot.
The extender resets and returns to the factory default settings.
