It was only when the extender just identified on my mac as Netgear_ext that I pressed the router WPS connection button to re-establish the ISP user _ext which was then picked up correctly by my mac but demands a password to connect.
Further to my earlier post just to be clear, when selecting the _ext connection shown as an available internet connection, instead of connecting directly, my i-mac demands a password before connecting, which when I enter it correctly states that it is invalid.

Hi, Thanks for this, when I first switched on again after my holiday the extender just identified on my i-mac as Netgear_ext rather than with the ISP user details so I re-connected the router to the extender and it now identifies with the correct user_ext address, but I have not done a factory re-set if that is what you mean. Should I try that?
A little more detail - as advised on other threads I have logged into the router address and noted the devices connected to the router which include my i-phone, my partners mac and ipad and the smart tv plus my netgear extender. All except the extender work fine without needing a re-connect password.
Second network extender arrvied today (on back of last night's success and wanting additional coverage) - when i go to mywifiext.net, I no longer get the Auto Set-Up prompt. I have disconnected first extender, as I was going bonkers trying to dfferentiate between the two. I have reset router. I have tried to reset extender, but it doesn't feel like the reset button is compressing and i don't know how to check
Please carefully review the installation guide for your unspecified wireless extender. Typically you have to establish a wireless connection from your computer to the new repeater with the NETGEAR_EXT (or the like) SSID. Now the mywifiext.net will work and give you access to the new extender Web UI.
Show what you get instead if things are unclear. A screenshot will help.
Reminder: This extender must be placed in a way where it can still "see" and reach the primary router. Don't try to daisy chain multiple extenders.
I have gone through the complete set up process again by factory resetting the extender and using the Netgear Genie. I have been able to connect my extender to the Router wirelessly with this new password but I cannot connect any devices through the wireless extender. I have got my devices to 'remove/forget' the network and then put it all back on. Nothing has worked! I have even changed my router password back to what it was before and still no luck. All the lights on my extender are all on saying it is connecting to the Router fine and to my computer fine, however I still have no internet access. What is going on here? Can someone please answer me before I throw this thing at the wall.
I have set up my RE450 and have successfully connected to the internet on both 2.4 and 5GHz, however the passwords for both channels do not match the host password as advertised but is pre-set at a ridiculously long random password that will be impossible to manually type into any device. Has anyone else had this issue and can offer any advice? I have the Tether aoo but it only allows you to change the SSID not the password. Thanks in advance.
If the RE450 is configured as a range extender it uses the same password of the router, it can't be different. If the extender is configured as an access point (Ethernet cable from the router to the extender) then the password can be modified.
@Tony thanks so much for taking the time to reply. These are the passwords that the tether app has assigned and there is no way of changing them as far as I can see. They are definitely not the password we have for the host router! I have tried logging in with the host router password but only these ones work.
Rather than using Tether, have you tried factory defaulting the extender (hold the reset pinhole for 10 seconds while plugged in) and setting the extender up by using the WPS method (link) or using your web browser (link)?
If you have hardware version 4, then there is not a newer firmware. The one it has already is the latest. If you have hardware versions 1 to 3, compare the build number which is the date to make sure yours is the latest.
up until now i've just been blindly following articles etc. to set my router's wifi password encryption type to WPA2-PSK/AES, but what does it really mean for me? does this just make it harder for people to hack my password with whatever algorithms they're using? say for example, if my password is Blink281, what does changing the encryption type to say WPA-PSK really do?
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the most widely used Wi-Fi security algorithm in the world. This is a function of age, backwards compatibility, and the fact that it appears first in the encryption type selection menus in many router control panels.
Despite various improvements, work-arounds, and other attempts to shore up the WEP system, it remains highly vulnerable and systems that rely on WEP should be upgraded or, if security upgrades are not an option, replaced. The Wi-Fi Alliance officially retired WEP in 2004.
Some of the significant changes implemented with WPA included message integrity checks (to determine if an attacker had captured or altered packets passed between the access point and client) and the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP employs a per-packet key system that was radically more secure than fixed key used in the WEP system. TKIP was later superseded by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
Despite what a significant improvement WPA was over WEP, the ghost of WEP haunted WPA. TKIP, a core component of WPA, was designed to be easily rolled out via firmware upgrades onto existing WEP-enabled devices. As such it had to recycle certain elements used in the WEP system which, ultimately, were also exploited.
WPA, like its predecessor WEP, has been shown via both proof-of-concept and applied public demonstrations to be vulnerable to intrusion. Interestingly the process by which WPA is usually breached is not a direct attack on the WPA algorithm (although such attacks have been successfully demonstrated) but by attacks on a supplementary system that was rolled out with WPA, Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), designed to make it easy to link devices to modern access points.
WPA has, as of 2006, been officially superseded by WPA2. One of the most significant changes between WPA and WPA2 was the mandatory use of AES algorithms and the introduction of CCMP (Counter Cipher Mode with Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol) as a replacement for TKIP (still preserved in WPA2 as a fallback system and for interoperability with WPA).
Currently, the primary security vulnerability to the actual WPA2 system is an obscure one (and requires the attacker to already have access to the secured Wi-Fi network in order to gain access to certain keys and then perpetuate an attack against other devices on the network). As such, the security implications of the known WPA2 vulnerabilities are limited almost entirely to enterprise level networks and deserve little to no practical consideration in regard to home network security.
Currently, the best security setting for your home or office WiFi is WPA2. WPA2 Enterprise is the best if your organization supports it, but WPA2 Personal is great for home and small offices. Do not use WEP. It has been cracked a long time ago, and an attacker does not even have to crack it, the WEP key can be passed just like NTLM passwords.
The most common technique used for WPA/WPA2 hacking is a dictionary attack. The attacker captures a WPA password handshake and passes this through a program that will try numerous passwords from a word list. Here is the key, if the password is not in the word list, they hacker does not get into your system.
Using a lengthy complex password goes a long way in keeping your WPA2 network secure. A combination of upper/lower case letters, numbers and special characters is the best bet. Some prefer using a short sentence that means something to them, while replacing some of the letters with numbers and adding in a few extra characters.
Wireless security standards are not about encrypting your password, they're about using a password to generate keys and then to use those keys to encrypt your traffic and authenticate your clients
Wireless security schemes such as WPA2-PSK are not encryption for your password, they're encryption for your traffic; they scramble the contents of your packets before they're transmitted by the radio, so that anyone listening in can't see what you're doing on the network.
In short, WPA2-PSK takes your password and scrambles it together with your network name to generate a long, hard-to-predict key in a very large key space. It does this using a computationally intensive algorithm designed to slow down how many brute-force guesses an attacker can compute per second.
It also makes sure that your password (or key it generates from your password), encrypted or not, is not transmitted across the air. No information about your key is leaked by the authentication or encryption processes, so attackers aren't given any information they can use to speed up brute-force password-guessing. So for attackers to try to brute-force your key, they have to actually try to authenticate against your AP again and again, and your AP can blacklist them or at least throttle the rate of authentication attempts, making it take ridiculously long to try to guess every possible password. 152ee80cbc
