If you use Smart Setup, and the extender does not connect to the WiFi router, does not
connect to the Internet, or cannot get an IP address from the WiFi router, Smart Setup
displays a message to notify you that the extender is not configured.
To run Smart Setup again, click the YES button. To manually configure the extender,
click the NO, CONFIGURE MANUALLY button.
Cannot Access mywifiext.net
When you try to access www.mywifiext.net to set up your extender, you might receive
an error message that says you are not connected to the extender's WiFi network. This
website is not a regular Internet website. It is a local web address used to log in to the
extender web interface and view the extender’s settings.
Your computer or mobile device must be connected to your extender network to access
www.mywifiext.net.
Try these troubleshooting tips to connect to www.mywifiext.net:
•
If you’re trying to access www.mywifiext.net for the first time to set up your extender,
see Connect With the NETGEAR Installation Assistant on page 16 and follow the
instructions.
•
After you connect your computer or mobile device to the extender network, make
sure that the extender’s Client Link LED is solid white.
If the Client Link LED is not lit, open your computer’s or mobile device’s WiFi
connection manager and make sure that your device is still connected to the extender
network.
•
Launch a web browser and enter the extender’s default IP address, which is
192.168.1.250.
If this IP address does not work, it is possible that your extender’s IP address might
have changed. You can log in to your router to view your extender’s IP address. For
more information, see Find the Extender’s IP address on page 69.
•
If your extender and router use the same WiFi network name (SSID), enter
http://<
extender’s IP address
> (for example, http://192.168.1.3).
For more information about how to find your extender’s IP address, see Find the
Extender’s IP address on page 69.
