I have three powerline extenders connected and working well, but during set up I must have somehow changed the router password and now I cannot connect my tv or printer as they won't accept the router password. How can I tell which of the three boxes passwords it is? Also, I've entered the numerical passwords for each box and none is accepted. Help please!!

@Domly Hi,

 

As some of your devices will not accept router password, please contact Router support first and  your Wi-Fi password or change router's Wi-Fi password back to the original one.

 

If you have a PC wired to power line extender, you could use tpPLC Utility to change Wireless settings as below:

If you have to connect  by Wireless,you could reset one of the Powerline extender by press reset hole for 8 secs while it is plugged into the wall , and add it back to your powerline network.  Later use tpPLC Utility/ APP to change the wireless password:

Sometimes when uses pressed the WPS button to synchronize the SSID and password , there is small chance that router's password change to a random password.

Here is a related FAQ to explain: Why is my main router’s wireless password changed after using WPS to set up the Range Extender?
