I am trying to connect my Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 to a client's router but do not know the password so I am trying to use the button on the side?

I have tried the button and it is not working. I have tried: Pushing the button clicking on the router ID and tried looking up the IP address to. I think it was caused by: I'm not sure

You will need to know the WiFi password on the router. The client must know it, he or she can have it in his agreement papers, or he or she can call up his Internet service provider and find out the password. If he or she set it up and forgot it, then he or she should reset the router and set the network up a new, including the WiFi password.

I do not know how to connect using WPS I suck at this. I added a range extender today and it changed everything?

I added a range extender and it changed everything, I have a Galaxy Note2 and do not know where to start
