My router security is WEP, and I entered the wrong password or security key on the extender. I cannot access the extender anymore. What can I do? The extender cannot check to see if the WEP password is correct. If you entered the wrong password, your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is not able to get the IP address from the extender. You must reset the extender to its factory default settings to get the IP address back. Can I set up the extender in extender mode if I connect it to the router or access point with an Ethernet cable? No. The extender is designed to connect wirelessly to the router or access point if it is in extender mode. If the extender is in access point mode, you can connect it to the router or access point with an Ethernet connection. For more information about access point mode, see Use the Extender in Access Point Mode on page 2. 15
