As you read in my ticket, I tried to log in to the PLC extender using admin (all lowercase) for userid, and admin (all lowercase) for password just as you advised.

They were rejected. 

However when I log in to the extender's web interface, the password admin is successful. 

Does the extender use different credentials for access using the tpPLC utility than it uses for the web interface? If not, why doesn't admin not work with the utility? The unit is brand-new, just out of the box.  So login using admin should work, but does not.

Thank you for advice that the WiFi extender does not support power-saving mode. I suppose that eliminates the need to log in to it, so I will stop trying.

Hi,

 

Yep, you do not have to login to the extender via the utility cause there is no power saving mode;

 

 

 

 

Since there's no power saving mode in the extender, I abandoned efforts to log in to it.

And since the extender + adaptor are working fine, I decided not to hard reset it.  It took me quite a while getting the two of them to work together, and I don't want to go down that path again.   (as they say: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it").

Thanks for your help.

@Kevin_Z Hi, I seem to be having the same issue. I have typed in the wireless password as indicated on the extender, and had no issues connecting to it via wifi, it simply will not be recognised by my phone
