Using a RE315 as an access point. Where do I enter the WiFi password?
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have a RE315 that I just reconfigured as a access point. When I connected via Tether to the RE315, I was prompted for a new password (and to re-enter the password). This was not the same as the password I chose for the router (thought it could have been). I changed it to AP mode and rebooted. Was now able to connect to the AP, there was a default SSID, and I was not prompted for a password.
When I looked in the extender confing in Tether, under the security option it said "no password". The other option is "encrypted". When I select "encrypted" the option changes from "no password" to "password", but there is no where to enter the password.
How do I make the login password on the AP the same as the router? Where do I enter the wifi password for the AP? Is this the same as the password to access the AP/Extender? This is very confusing.
The way this should work. - When adding an AP, make the default password the same as the WiFi password for the router. It would be even better if I could use the same SSID everywhere (router and AP) and it would just work. Bonus points for being able to change the WiFi password in one place.
Thanks,
Tom

APP should allow to create a WiFi password below encrypted like the photo attached, may I have a screenshot or a short video for your page, thank you very much.
Please confirm Tether app is up to date, and update firmware to the latest (select hardware to download correct firmware)

May I know the model and OS of your phone, and the tether APP version if the above does not help, thank you very much.
