Yes, but it isn't easy. You have to plug in your computer to the WN2000rptv2, wait for all it's lights to turn green, and then open Airport. Click on the "Your router Name"_EXT. You will be taken to a web site that I could not reach by the URL directly. Enter admin and password (case sensitive) and follow the directions.

 

This worked for one Mac but not for a second. Error message wrong Password everytime. I reentered it, same result.
