IV. Change the Password
You will now see the dashboard of your wireless range extender where different tabs will appear. Since you have to change the admin password of the extender, you have to select the Administration option. The Administration window will appear. Here, under the Set Login Password section
- Enter the old password i.e. the default password into the field with the same name.
