Hi, I have tried to login to mywifiext.net via the safari web browser but to no avail. I get netgears page telling me I am not connected to my extenders wifi. ( even though it’s the wifi I have selected on my Mac comp).
I have also tried the Mac OS address mywifiext.local but all I get is a blank page. The extender has the wifi name and password on it so I know what it is but what do I do to get internet access on the extender? Do I need to change the wifi name to match my existing routers wifi?

Hi Acrobat

Let us make sure first that the powerline adapter has Internet access. Please describe the LED status of the powerline adapter.

You mentioned that the computer is connected to the powerline network, kindly check if it has a valid IP address. Please try accessing the IP address.
