Hi,
I have a EX3600-T0 router that works perfectly fine as a router and the information at the back of the device works fine to login to the web admin UI and access the wifi.
I now want to use it as a wifi Extender instead so I go into Maintenance --> Operation mode and change it from Router to Extender in the web UI. Then connect it with a LAN cable from my new router LAN port to a LAN port on the EX3600-T0.
It then pops up as a new WiFi network SSID (Zyxel_...) compared to what it was called previously. I can see what IP it has got as well from the DHCP in my new router, and I can access the web UI of the EX3600-T0 at that IP but I can NOT log in anymore. It's as if the password has changed. And the password found online for "Zyxel repeaters" (1234) does not work either.
I've tried resetting the EX3600-T0 multiple times but same behavior all the time. Driving me crazy, it's as if it's booting up from a different partition or something when it's changed to Extender operations mode.
Any help would be appreciated!

I think you should remove WAN cable on EX3600, then try to login the device. Maybe you are login to the wrong device.

I don't have the WAN cable attached on the EX3600.

I have the same problem! When I change the router to extender mode the router changes the name of my ssid and changes the password to the web ui. Have reset the router several times and tried with or without the tp cable connected..
