Hello @Blother ,

Welcome to our community.

 

If you forgot the Wi-Fi password for the extender.
    1. Once set up, the extender's Wi-Fi password is the same as your router's.
    2. Open the Tether App, log into the extender under Devices, and tap Extended Network to view the Wi-Fi password. 
    3. Reach out to your router's support for the Wi-Fi password. 
    4. If the router's Wi-Fi password isn't working, hard reset the extender and follow the Tether app's instructions to set it up again.

 

Best Regards.

Hello @Samba17 ,

Welcome to our community.

 

Here's what you can do to regain access:

Solution 1: Try the default password
Try logging in with the default password, which is often "admin".

Solution 2: Hard reset the extender
If the default password doesn't work, you'll need to perform a hard reset:
• Press and hold the reset button on the extender until the lights flash briefly
• This will restore the device to factory settings
• After the reset, you'll need to set up the extender again and create a new password

After resetting, you can reconfigure your extender using the Tether app for an easy setup process.
