Changing the Wifi Extender password

Model: TL-WA855RE  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have been through the support articles, and the support chat bot, and it seems to be I can't change the extender wifi password. It apparently has to be the same as the Host wifi password.

 

Since this is NOT the answer I want or need, I thought I would ask here if there is a way to get around this. I know I can change the SSID name, which I've done, but without changing the password doesn't really get me anywhere. I've looked at changing the Host password, but I won't accept the password I need (Host insists on at least 1 Capital, and my password doesn't have one).

 

Someone please tell me there is a way around this...some way to change the TP-Link extenders' wifi password.

 

Otherwise I'm stumped! ;) 

 

Thank you

@Memarkiam 

Hi,

May I know why do you want to change the password and currently, the extenders need to use the same password of the host router otherwise it would not have internet service?

As for the workaround, if 855RE did not work as an extender, access point instead, we could set up a different wireless password for the extender;

Thank you very much and wait for your reply.
