Can't connect to this network
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Set it up through WPS successfully and when I try to connect to the _ext network it just throws the "Can't connect to this network" error, on the phone it just says incorrect password. If I use the wrong password on purpose on PC it won't even try to connect and outright says "incorrect password" instead of the unable to connect error. Weird.
At any rate if your reply is to advise me to use the app don't bother - any other solutions are acceptable. If there aren't any then I'm returning this.

May I know the model of your Wi-Fi router?
You could to forget router's Wi-Fi on the Mobile phone and reconnect it ,this is to make sure Wi-Fi password still works on other devices.
- Go to Settings→ Wi-Fi on your phone, Tap (or Long press the router's Wi-Fi name →Forget / Delete the network
Please reconnect to your router Wi-Fi it will ask for a password, will it accept your router password?
- Later factory reset the range extender go Setup through Web page.
RESET: With the extender powered on, use a pin to press the RESET button until most LEDs flash once.
If very few cases, router's password changed in WPS process,and to tell if router's password becomes a random long wifi password, you could download Tether app and check the Range extender's password : Why is my main router’s wireless password changed after using WPS to setup the Range Extender?

Don't I need to be connected to the extender's wi-fi to access the web page in the first place?

Hello @munro-pt
Thank you for your detailed information, your case seems to be related to WPS process mentioned in FAQ I posted above.
After factory reset, range extender's default SSID will become an open network again which does not require a Wi-Fi password, so you could connect to extender's WiFi then later login its Web page. Or you could try to set it up through Tether app.
